Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Sid Caesar in "20 Minutes for Lunch"


Add caption
Throwback Thursday has become a weekly social media posting trend to let readers and viewers look back fondly on some of their favorite memories -- hence the "throwback" theme.
 
At Jewish Humor Central, on most Thursdays we've been posting a nostalgic video clip from a very old TV show or movie that brings back happy memories. 

Today we're going back 62 years to April 10, 1954, when Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows was in full bloom, and filled with clever skits featuring Sid and his regulars -- Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, and Howard Morris. 

Let's take a few minutes to watch Sid as a shlemazel trying to have a peaceful lunch in a very busy restaurant staffed by waiters who are probably not making big tips. The skit is called "20 Minutes for Lunch" but actually runs only 6 minutes.

Enjoy!
