Respect is paid to the late comedian who spent decades boasting his lack there of. Comedy Central blasts off this documentary of the funnymen who impacted the biz by honoring the king of one-liners with definitive clips showcasing his comedic niche that took the "take my wife, please!" punch line to a new level. Peers ranging from theater-filler Chris Rock to space-filler Rob Schneider to chair-filler Roseanne Barr share sincere remembrances of his generosity and skill without diminishing his memory with ill-timed wisecracks. With Legends, the new class can show respect for their forefathers, even those that don't respect themselves.
