The lives and legacies of three comedic legends will converge in Jamestown later this month for a one-time only roundtable discussion between the children of George Carlin, Joan Rivers and Harold Ramis.

Kelly Carlin, Melissa Rivers, Violet Stiel and Julian Ramis will appear on the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts stage at 6 p.m., Friday, July 31, to talk about experiences shared with their respective parents, granting audience members a unique insight into both the private and personal lives of the famous comedians.

Though all three comedy greats represented in the discussion have since died, the impact of their careers and immense stardom is still felt very strongly in a world that will vividly recall the outrageous, groundbreaking stand-up routines of George Carlin and Joan Rivers, and timeless Ramis-penned films such as “Caddyshack,” “National Lampoon’s Family Vacation,” and “Ghostbusters.” The Comedy Roundtable of this year’s Lucille Ball Festival of Comedy, however, will explore, via firsthand accounts, the specific elements and characteristics exhibited by each of these individuals that would ultimately elevate them to the pinnacle of comedic innovation and fortitude.

“This is a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime event, and the fact that it’s happening in Lucille Ball’s hometown makes it that much more spectacular,” said Journey Gunderson, executive director of the National Comedy Center and festival coordinator.

The discussion will be moderated by Kelly Carlin, who will guide conversation and record the program live for later broadcast on her SiriusXM radio program “The Kelly Carlin Show.” She will first interview Violet Stiel and Julian Ramis, two of the three children produced by Harold Ramis in his marriages to Anne Plotkin and Erica Mann, respectively.

Stiel, who is currently working as a caseworker in New York City, said she was more than happy to participate in the discussion in support of the forthcoming National Comedy Center – which is set to break ground during this year’s festival.

“I like the idea of (the National Comedy Center) because I feel like a lot of people these days don’t really know where things come from and how they got started,” Stiel said. “I feel that, in a lot of ways, my dad was kind of a bridge between the generations in comedy. He grew up watching black-and-white films with people like the Marx Brothers, and was at the forefront of this new style of comedy that we now see people like Judd Apatow making.

“I’m very flattered and honored that my dad would be included in the National Comedy Center, and I think it’s fitting that he would be a part of something that looks at the progression of comedy,” she added.

Following her interview with the children of Harold Ramis, Kelly Carlin will interview Melissa Rivers – an Ivy League graduate, accomplished equestrian, TV producer, single mother and only child of Joan Rivers and her long-time husband, Edgar Rosenberg.

Having made a wide array of TV appearances through the years, including a several collaborations with her mother, Melissa Rivers has since detailed her experiences with and observations of her mother in a recently released book entitled “The Book of Joan.” The book – which relates funny, poignant and irreverent observations, thoughts, and tales of Joan from Melissa’s perspective – will be discussed, as well as Melissa’s impressions on growing up with Joan for a mother.

Born in 1963 as the only child of George Carlin and his first wife, Brenda Hosbrook, Kelly Carlin, who has received her master’s degree in Jungian depth psychology, would ultimately eschew the life of a stand-up comedian for that of a writer, radio host and orator. Have grown up under the oppressive attention that accompanied her father’s fame, and the daunting notion of living up to the standards of both George Carlin and the general public, Kelly said she has reached a new level of self-actualization that has allowed her to finally live the life she feels she was meant to live.

She will also appear at the Reg Lenna on Saturday, Aug. 1, to present her renowned, one-woman show “A Carlin Home Companion: Growing Up with George.” The program will begin at 3:30 p.m., and tickets start at $22.50

Tickets for the Comedy Roundtable range from $15.50-$43.50. They are available by calling the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival box office at 484-0800 or visiting lucycomedyfest.com, where a complete schedule and description of each of the events in this year’s festival can be found.
