With live revenue decimated, The Groundlings, Upright Citizens Brigade and Second City now owned by game mogul Strauss Zelnick forged new paths to varying degrees of success.
In July, The Second City was facing an existential crisis. Its namesake improv theaters in Toronto, Los Angeles and Chicago had shuttered amid the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively eliminating all revenue overnight. Meanwhile, former members were taking to social media to call out the storied comedy brand where Tina Fey, Eugene Levy, Steve Carell and Jordan Peele, among many others, got their starts for institutionalized anti-Black bias. The controversy led longtime Second City CEO (and 50 percent owner) Andrew Alexander to resign, admitting that he “failed to create an anti-racist environment wherein artists of color might thrive.”

By April, after the statewide stay-at-home order went into effect, that number fell to 34,100, and it has “barely budged” since then, said New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, whose office released the report.
