Was Sid in the latest Howie Carr Death Pool?

Pretty sure Shirley Temple-Black wasn't.

Can’t be many left from “Mad, Mad, etc. World. We lost Jonathon Winters last year. Mickey Rooney, Jerry Lewis, are there any others?

“At my worst, I had been downing eight Tuinals and a quart of Scotch a day,” Caesar recalled of his darkest days.

And he lived to be 91?..............I should be so lucky!.............Thanks for the memories and the laffs, Sid. Truly rest in peace...............

He was one of a kind. I’m sorry to hear that he had such an unhappy life. He brought laughter to everybody else.

There were some remarkable comedians in the 50’s and certainly Sid Caesar was one. Today you don’t have as many and those you do have are not family friendly. Sid Caesar, Bob Hope, Victor Borge, Danny Kay, and Jackie Gleason all were capable of appealing to a broad audience and without vulgarity (at least in their TV programs).

RIP

Sid Caesar, one of the first stars created by television via his weekly live comedy program “Your Show of Shows,” has died at 91

"What happened to you?"
"I fell into yellow."

Thanks for posting this, Borges.

The roster of writers on his show was impressive. R.I.P.

May he rest in peace.

He was one of the funniest—and cleanest—comedians in the world.

I saw him in person many times whenI was in the studio audience at “Show of Shows”.

My friend’s mom worked in an exclusive Madison Av. shop where all the stars came in. They gave her comps.

For the price of a subway ride (10 cents each way), I saw the greatest of the great!

Love you, Sid!

RIP Mr. Caesar. We used to watch “Your Show of Shows” when I was a kid.

I had the pleasure of meeting his son who is an emergency room surgeon in Portland, OR.
