My parents were in the audience for this performance, sitting right behind Sid Caesar. Unfortunately not on the recording but close enough to vividly relive the memory. I remember my father telling me about being there. He was a big fan of Sid Caesar (and also Ernie Kovach). Passed that fandom on to me. I was able to track down a video tape that included this performance. I remember sitting next to my father on the family room couch as we roared with laughter. He is long gone but this memory is a blessing. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the link to Sid. He was always very funny. And then I saw What's My Line which took me back to my childhood and just couldn't stop watching many episodes.
If I can see through the laugh tears in my eyes to type, I just want to say thank you for reminding me how wonderful true comedy is. This man is a treasure, I am so glad I saw this.
Sid Caesar's Show of Shows was brilliant television. It is all the more amazing to think that it was a 90-minute show performed live every week at a time when the television season lasted 36 weeks. My particular favorite sketch is "the German General" - it is available on Youtube.
As I close in to 80 years of age, I must say that there has been no one as funny as Sid Caesar….wit the exception of Imogene Coca! Thank you for reminding us that humor is so important!
Watched the second piece, This is Your Life Carl Reiner. So nice to see my parents' generation in the prime of their days. I miss them all very much. Seems like there was way more civility back then.

Oh my, thanks soooo much for the laugh and smile. ‼️‼️✨

Pure comedic genius. Timing, timing, timing perfection
And the fabulous Louis Nye as Mr. Torch! 😂
Wonderful!
" for another glimpse of comic genius, featuring their hilarious double-talk--which is what we're getting these days in politics.
Ha, ha and ha!

I laughed so hard my cheeks hurt! Physical comedy is the best. Makes me think of Dick Van Dyke and Carol Burnett.
I remember Howard Morris as Earnest T. on Andy Griffith.
Over the top, young, foolish... and geniuses. (If that is the correct plural.) Love it! Thank you... especially Uncle Goopy. LOL!
So funny! Thanks!
This was really great to see Sid Caesar in this classic video. He was really funny, and also
seeing Carl Reiner in This Is Your Life , brought back great memories of my Mom and I because we used to watch it together.
Thank you Dan and Elliot, it really brighten my day.
