Your Show of Shows

Your Show of Shows was an early television variety/sketch comedy series which ran in a 90 minute slot from 1950-1954, starring Sid Caesar. Caesar took the same basic format, supporting cast, and extensive writing staff to Caesar's Hour (1954-1957), which featured fewer and longer sketches.
