SID CAESAR WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMICS EVER ON TV
The late Sid Caesar’s Show of Shows was like the Saturday Night Live of the 50’s – everybody talked about it the next day. We remember our father laughing uproariously at Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca playing husband and wife in sketches. There was something sexy about Sid in those days – he was big and husky and had shiny slicked back hair. His amazing list of comedy writers included Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Carl Reiner and Woody Allen. (Above is a sketch of Imogene dragging her husband to an early health food restaurant )
