I had the great pleasure to watch this video. A gathering of the hearts and minds that worked on great comedy TV. I'm a "second-generation" fan, I guess you could say, of Sid Caesar's TV works. I saw the programs as they were rebroadcast during the 80s. But still, this did not diminish their impact and humour. So, seeing the crew of writers gab it up was a gas!

Witty, fast on the repartee and cutting, these gentlemen spoke of the times and events that surrounded the writing of "Your Show of Shows" and "Caesar's Hour". They sometimes performed classic bits, other times they joked about great moments.

If you are a fan of classic TV, and especially of Sid Casesar, you must see this wonderful video!

An amazing panel discussion with the comedy legends who made the TV variety hour Your Show of Shows between 1950-1954. They review stories about all of the people involved with making the show.
