Caesar forever changed the course of television with his groundbreaking 1950s Saturday night variety shows, Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour. He was known for his physicality, improvisation, mimicry and whimsical double-talk. His observational humor exposed the truths of everyday life, producing writers and performers who set the comic agenda for decades. Inarguably he was the greatest single monologist and skit comedian we ever had.
