Talk:Sid Caesar

message: This famous scientist watched one tv show: Your Show of Shows. He enjoyed Sid Caesar's comedy so much that he invited Caesar to visit at his Princeton home. Sid Caesar tried to quickly study physics so that he would have a common topic of conversation with the famous man. However, shortly before the scheduled visit, Einstein died. Sid Caesar was so affected by Einstein's appreciation that he frequently refers to Einstein in his comedy routines. He may even have created many elaborate comedy monologues, simply to somehow include the mention of Einstein's name.152.163.101.6 19:12, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Is she actually dead? I can't find her obituary anywhere and her death was listed by an anonymous source. It seems plausible she is but I'm asking due to something I'm doing on the article Hollywood marriage. (There's being an example of a long-term celebrity marriage)--T.

message: The text implies that Woody Allen wrote for Sid Caesar on Your Show of Shows. This is unlikely (Allen would have been a teenager) but Allen did write for Caesar's television specials in the 1960s and may have done some writing for Caesar's Hour. Halfelven (talk) 09:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: NPR had an obituary about Ceasar this morning (I listened on podcast) and mentioned Woody Allen as one of Ceasar's writers, but I dont remember for which of the shows. If you want to check it out I listened on Feb 13 2014.Simplysavvy (talk) 11:21, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Much of this article reads like a press release from the Sid Caesar Fan Club. It also has few citations, with several paragraphs having none at all. I have trimmed the most obvious examples of puffery, like multiple references to standing ovations Mr. Caesar received.Paragraphbee (talk) 21:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I find myself recoiling at this heading. Yes, he had "personal problems" (as we all do), but somehow this sounds a bit pathetic and condescending. Is there a better way to word this?  "Personal issues" isn't much better, but is moving in the direction I'm thinking to go. "Struggles"? Dwpaul Talk    15:47, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In an interview he describes having a great dinner of steak and wine, then strolling down a Paris boulevard, then feeling terrible. Seems similar to Robbie Williams and Stephen Fry, try a title of "Health"Xb2u7Zjzc32 (talk) 17:44, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good suggestion.  My most recent thought, though, was just to retitle that section as "Decline", which seems to me to encompass both his (relative) withdrawal from the limelight and some personal deterioration without being too explicit. Thoughts? Dwpaul Talk    17:49, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I came to the page hoping to find some info about the dramatic weight loss that apparently happened in the late 1960s. His appearance changed considerably and I was curious to know about that. He appears on a Lucy Show episode from 1969 that jokes about his weight loss and has a couple of funny scenes of Caesar eating cottage cheese while the people around him are enjoying huge portions of rich foods.  It seems noteworthy, and would improve the article if someone has some reliable information to include.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lafong (talk • contribs) 23:25, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
