Sid Caesar, The King of Comedy Has Died

from WinCustomize Forums

 

 

 

Sid Caesar was perhaps the funniest comedian of his generation.

He founded the role of comedy in sitcoms in the then B&W infant television. He was born to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents who ran a diner. He taught himself comedy and went on the Catskill Circuit. He was married to his wife Florence for 67 years. She passed away in 2010.

That's why I put that picture up...that was Sid getting a TVLand Award at age 83...back in 2006.

Today he's left the stage...and everything just got a good bit grayer, duller and sadder.

 

May your memory be blessed, Sid.

<3   He was a very funny man.  We "oldies" grew up with Sid Caesar, Red Buttons, Milton Beryl, Johnny Carson, and a host of others. The beginning of television and some of the very best programs were long ago, not now. I seldom watch TV, my preference I know, but to me most of it is junk.
