The King of Comedy
Directed by Martin ScorseseRupert Pupkin is obsessed with becoming a comedy great. However, when he confronts his idol, talk show host Jerry Langford, with a plea to perform on the Jerry's show, he is only given the run-around. He does not give up, but persists in stalking Jerry until he gets what he wants. Eventually he must team up with his psychotic Langford-obsessed friend Masha to kidnap the talk show host in hopes of finally getting to perform his stand-up routine.
The King of Comedy Ratings & Reviews
- David DanielOctober 25, 2025After Hours and The King of Comedy are such a strange and fascinating redirection for Scorsese after Taxi Driver and Raging Bull
- Aaron DeckerSeptember 8, 2025Weird, weird, weird
- N01DNovember 17, 2025One of Scorsese’s best! Direction is immaculate, but the scenes with Masha and even Jerry are a bit boring.
