"Too Soon: Comedy after 9/11" (not rated, 1 hour, 30 minutes, Vice TV) A bittersweet documentary that explores how stand-up comedians, Broadway performers, late-night hosts, "Saturday Night Live" cast members, The Onion staff members and other performers helped their audience laugh even in the darkest of days. Directed by Nick Scown and Julie Seabaugh, the film which takes its name from the response Gilbert Gottfried received after cracking a joke about the airline attacks shortly after they occurred gains strength from interviews with David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Marc Maron, Matthew Broderick, Aasif Mandvi, Rob Riggle, Nathan Lane, Cedric the Entertainer, Chris Kattan, Lewis Black, Doug Stanhope, Jimmy Carr, Russell Peters and many more.
