Sid Caesar Fast Facts:

Turned to acting while serving in the Coast Guard during WWII; first stage performance was in the military musical

"I know of no other comedian who could have done nearly 10 years of live TV," longtime Caesar scribe Mel Brooks once said. "Nobody's talent was ever more used up than Sid's over a period of years. TV ground him into sausages — one sausage a week."
