Sid Caesar
(born 1922) Comedian best known for sketches that defined the humor of television’s golden age.
Creative, satirical and often truly bizarre, Caesar created memorable sketches for the NBC showcase Your Show of Shows (1954–7) in conjunction with Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner and Howard Morris (as well as the writing of Mel Brooks). Caesar appeared later in Caesar’s Hour (1954–7), a few films and other appearances; his influence on television comedy continues to the present.
