R.I.P Sid Caesar

Comedian and Golden Age Hollywood figure has died at the age of 91 of an unspecified illness. He is best known for sketch comedy usually paired with the older Imogene Coca in Your Show of Shows and starred in its successor Caser's Hour. He did the occasional movie and was featured in a favorite movie of mine 1963's Its A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and later in 1976's Silent Movie by Mel Brooks.

Couple of clips of him. One from film and the other television.

Aww, RIP Mr Caesar. I always liked him in Grease.

That sucks, but 91 is a pretty good run.

Not really familiar with him, but my mom knew of him. Sad to see he's gone, but he did live a good life. My condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans.

My mother loved Sid Caesar growing up. She loved Your Show of Shows.

There's a 1973 movie called 10 From Your show of Shows that featured Caesar @ his best. In 1985, he played a shrink in Stoogemania, that starred Josh Mostel. In 1995, he did an ABC-TV movie called The Great Mom Swap (decades before the reality show).
