    He's absolutely right, you listen to the language and find the cadence and tonality. He was a master mimic.
  • As a testament to Sid's genius in his mastery of double-talk, when people in the audience whose first language was French, Italian, German, or Japanese heard it, they burst out laughing.

    "Laughter on the 23rd Floor". A real tribute!
  • I’m pretty sure he threw a little Yiddish in on that last one. 😁 Sid was one of a kind. Absolutely brilliant.

    We were so glad we were able to catch Sid and Imogene when they performed their last tour to San Francisco. Back in the late 1970's. They did some of their old sketches and she did a couple of her vaudeville numbers that were really astounding. She must have been in her late 80's. We were both raised on Your Show of Shows and loved it dearly.
  • Sid Caesar was an absolute original. No one was ever like him, nor ever will be.

    Every language has its own song. That's true. I remember when I was stationed on a little island with a bunch of Japanese sailors i could listen to them for about an hour and begin to feel like I was beginning to understand the language.
  • as someone who is pretending to be feench italian and german on the internet, this man is amazing

    I recall meeting Sid Caesar in the early '90s. We talked a bit about comedy. I'll not forget what he said: "Comedy isn't something you say. It's something you do."

    Sid is the Caesar of Comedy. I've watched a lot of his work as well as others of the genius of the Golden Age of Comedy. I wish there were channels on cable devoted exclusively to this talent. Each new discovery is a delight with hope for the present.

    I met him one time at the Hamburger Hamlet restaurant in West Hollywood, on Sunset Boulevard, about 20 years ago. My neighbor I was eating with knew him, but I didn't really know who he was. Sid was very friendly and didn't rush at all. The "This is Your Story" clip is beyond hysterical.
