Sid Caesar Collection - Fan Favorites - The Professor & Other Clowns

Amazon.com

To work on Your Show of Shows or Caesar's Hour was to attend "the Harvard of Comedy," so it is fitting that one of Sid Caesar's signature characters is the Professor. These six vintage sketches are like a graduate class in comedy writing and ensemble performance. Three couples jockey for space during a close quarters dinner party in the hilarious "Small Apartment." Caesar and Imogene Coca are a classical gas as two musicians in "1812 Overture." Caesar's versatility is on display as a hapless diner in "20 Minutes for Lunch" and in the opera spoof "Gallipacci." Cast members and writers--including Caesar, Carl Reiner, Nanette Fabray, Larry Gelbart, Neil Simon, Mel Brooks, and Woody Allen--reminiscence about favorite sketches and working on the show. --Donald Liebenson
