In this sketch, Nan decides to hire a maid-- who turns out to be a lusciously beautiful young blonde. The maid is played by one of the quintessential dumb blondes of the 1950s and 1960s, Barbara Nichols, hilarious as always. Nichols appeared many times on the Jack Benny Show as his low class sometime-girlfriend, stealing every show was in! ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video> <video> SID CAESAR: Vacant Holsters [SPOOF] (CAESAR'S HOUR - VERY rare sketch!) Description: A spoof of Western movies centering on Sid as a near-sighted gunslinger. The extended middle section with the extended shots from a, well, unusual camera angle are a riot. This copy comes courtesy of a fellow Sid Caesar fan from Europe who recorded a couple of hours of the reruns, which haven't been seen on TV for over 25 years.

Every moment here is perfect, every emotion perfectly communicated and in perfect synchronization to the music. ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video> <video> SID CAESAR: The Haircuts - So Rare & Flippin' (CAESAR'S HOUR, Apr 25 1955) Description: Sid Caesar, Howard Morris and Carl Reiner do their wild take on a 1950s rock and roll trio, singing two of their greatest hits, "So Rare" and "Flippin'". ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video> <video> SID CAESAR: Grieg Piano Concerto [PANTOMIME] (CAESAR'S HOUR, May 25 1957) Description: Pantomime worthy of comparison to Harpo Marx. Sid Caesar plays a pianist struggling through Grieg's Piano Concerto. Brilliance. And with, what, one day's worth of rehearsal? ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video> <video> SID CAESAR: Steve Allen - Man on the Street (CAESAR'S HOUR) Description: Sid spoofs the "Man on the Street" segments regularly featured on Steve Allen's shows, playing a man who can't resist the allure of a TV camera.

Murrow's "People to People" program, with Carl Reiner as Murrow and Sid playing his recurring character, Progress Hornsby, jazz musician/beatnik. ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video> <video> SID CAESAR: Shadow Waltz [MUSICAL] (CAESAR'S HOUR, Feb 14 1955) Description: In this great spoof of light operettas, Sid struggles to play the part of the dashing romantic figure he's expected to be, while Nanette does her best to cover his gaffes. Nanette Fabray doesn't get nearly the credit she deserves, having the thankless role of following the unfollowable Imogene Coca. But in sketches like this one, she shows she was often every bit as effective a foil for Sid as Imogene was. ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video> <video> SID CAESAR: The Caesaros Flying Circus (CAESAR'S HOUR - VERY rare sketch!)

This is brilliantly written, and brilliantly performed. Sid Caesar's ability to spout of so much specific, technical dialogue in his answers is amazing, especially since there's no evidence at ALL that he's reading cue cards. Carl Reiner keeps the entire sketch moving along at the right pace, not as showy a part, of course, but just as brilliantly performed. ----------------------------------------------- For more rare material like this, please click here to subscribe to the Sid Caesar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaco274Tej4ZhYWflk4B6lw?sub_confirmation=1 </video>
