3	Isaac Sidney "Sid" Caesar (September 8, 1922 -- February 12, 2014) was an American comedian and comic actor.

5	Getting his start in the BorschtBelt playing a saxophone and performing in sketches, Caesar was most famous for hosting the pioneering television variety series ''Your Show of Shows'' in the 1950s. He also appeared in a number of films, including ''Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld'' (1963), ''Film/SilentMovie'' (1976), ''Film/TheCheapDetective'' (1978), ''Film/{{Grease}}'' (1978), and ''Film/HistoryOfTheWorldPartI'' (1981), and starred in the Broadway musical ''Little Me'' (1962), in which he [[ActingForTwo played multiple characters]].

7	Unlike many comedians of his time, Caesar was more of a sketch comic rather than a stand-up comic, relying more on body language, accents, and facial contortions than simply dialogue. [[HarpoDoesSomethingFunny He would think up concepts and ideas, and had writers flesh out the concept]]. Such writers included Creator/MelBrooks, Creator/CarlReiner, Creator/NeilSimon, Creator/LarryGelbart, and Creator/WoodyAllen.
