Sid Caesar was one of the great comedy stars of television's golden age, and his two hit series, Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour, are still remembered as giving a stage to some of the finest and most inventive comedy of the 1950's. The Sid Caesar Collection: The Magic Of Live TV features 90 minutes of great moments from Caesar's career; sketches include The Clock, A Fella Needs A Girl (one of Caesar's legendary "Italian double-talk" routines), the parody This Is Your Story, and a bit with Sid playing a jazz musician alongside Benny Goodman. Caesar's cast for his shows included Imogene Coca, Nanette Fabray, Carl Reiner, and Howard Morris.
