Sid Caesar has passed away (1 Viewer)

He was 91 and a comedic genius. "Your Show of Shows" was a direct inspiration for SNL :(

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Didn't know he was still alive.

 

[Caesar]

Bye dad

If you have never seen it, one of best segments from Your Show of Shows, a parody of Ralph Edwards "This Is Your Life" with Carl Reiner and Howard Morris:

Didn't know he was still alive.

Up until yesterday, he didn't know you were alive either. The difference was he was a comedic genius.

 

[The General]

Great comedian, better salad.

Legendary comedian. Just watched It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World several weeks ago, he was hysterical in a few scenes (prop plane and getting locked into the hardware store and having to improvise with materials at hand to escape). Need to rewatch My Favorite Year (also with the recently passed away Peter O'Toole).

* Didn't see this, got rid of the other redundant thread.

Before most of our times here, but from what the skits I've seen, very funny dude.

RIP RIP, little Caesar

 

[Sabertooth]

He is going on a looooooooooooong journey!

Didn't know he was still alive.

Pretty sure he died right after he won a keno game in Vegas. That was a while ago.

 

[E Street Brat]

He was the the loneliest guy I ever saw.
He would've given anything to have
someone sit with him and be kind.

Probably because of all the aliases. And .

I'm going to spill a Caesar Salad out in Sid's honor.

Too bad his winning ticket got sucked up by that vacuum cleaner.

Love that movie.

Mickey Rooney is the only living (lead) member of the cast. Caesar and Jonathan Winters both died this year. Dorothy Provine and Edie Adams.passed away a few years earlier.

So all the money belongs to Rooney if still has the strength to dig it up.

[LinusMarr]

I remember him as the P.E teacher at Rydell high school in Grease lol

 

[El Floppo]

Funny, funny guy. I got turned on to Show of Shows through a documentary my folks dragged me to when I was a kid... pretty dated, but some hilarious stuff and obvious birthplace of sketch comedy. Imogene Coca

Also a big fan of Mad Mad and Favorite Year... looked him up to see what else he was in movie-wise- not much of note.
