Rejection has never been so hilarious! After her role in a Woody Allen play was rethought, actress Annabelle Gurwitch was devastated. Then, she got funny. Gurwitch and a revolving cast of fellow show-biz veterans share their stories of getting fired.

Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles in March of 2005.
