He was the star and guiding force behind \u003ci\u003eYour Show of Shows\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCaesar's Hour\u003c\/i\u003e, two of the most innovative programs in the Golden Age of Television, and the writers and stars of those shows went on to create the plays, movies, and sitcoms that we now think of as classic American comedy. So many of our greatest comedy writers -- Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Woody Allen -- were part of Sid Caesar's creative troupe. Sid was a master not only of comedic performance, but also of developing characters that the audience could relate to, finding the humor in ordinary situations rather than through vaudeville-type gags. His was a comedy truly drawn from the human condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCaesar's Hours\u003c\/i\u003e is Sid Caesar 's artistic autobiography, his account of how these great routines were fashioned and performed, and the interactions that gave birth to them. He takes us inside the famed writers' room, the rehearsal studios, and onto the stage itself, where some of the funniest moments in television history came to life. To read his book is to learn why his intelligent and sensitive brand of humor resonates so much with us, even half a century later.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSid Caesar\u003c\/b\u003e was born in Yonkers, New York, in 1922 and began his career in comedy while a musician in the Catskills.
