Sid Caesar Fast Facts:

Started career as a musician; played clarinet and saxophone in small bands and later in the orchestras of Charlie Spivak, Shep Fields and Charlie Thornhill.
Turned to acting while serving in the Coast Guard during WWII; first stage performance was in the military musical Tars and Spars.
His signature double-talk routines were inspired by listening to customers speak foreign languages in his father's restaurant as a child.
Chronicled his battles with drugs and alcohol in his 1982 autobiography, Where Have I Been?.
"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."
Inducted into the TV Academy Hall of Fame in 1985.
