Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: Sid Caesar in The Hickenloopers -- "The Boarder"

It's Throwback Thursday again and today we get another chance to go back to the 1950s and another episode of The Hickenloopers on Your Show of Shows.

Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca starred in many episodes of the hilarious marital tribulations of Doris and Charlie Hickenlooper. In this sketch, Sid Caesar comes home from work to find a strange man sitting in his favorite chair. It's Howard Morris, playing the role of the boarder that Imogene Coca brought into their apartment to live with them for $16 a month.

Sid's reactions upon entering his home and finding another man there are priceless.

No date is available for this sketch, which has only been released on very rare out of print VHS/Betamax tapes. We're grateful to a Sid Caesar super fan who found these tapes, had them transferred digitally, and shared them with a poster who made them available on YouTube.

Enjoy!
