Throwback Thursday Comedy Showcase: Sid Caesar in "The Hickenloopers: Poker Game"

It's Throwback Thursday again and today we get another chance to go back to the 1950s and watch Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca as The Hickenloopers on Your Show of Shows.

Caesar and Coca starred in many episodes of the hilarious marital tribulations of Doris and Charlie Hickenlooper. In this sketch, Sid Caesar forgets that he had a date with his wife and joins his friends (including Carl Reiner and Howard Morris) in Reiner's apartment for an evening of poker.

This week's sketch is a tribute on Caesar's centenary. The comedian was born 100 years ago on September 8, 1922.

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!

Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca in "The Good Investment"

It's Throwback Thursday again and today we get another chance to go back 67 years to 1951 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, Doris Hickenlooper (Imogene Coca) invests $2200 of their savings in the stock market. Charlie (Sid Caesar) castigates her for squandering his life savings. The stock rises and falls and so do their emotions as they watch the roller coaster value of Consolidated U&M change by the minute.

Although the skit was performed in 1951 on Your Show of Shows, well before digital technology ruled Wall Street, it shows that investing hasn't really changed that much as we watch the stock market rise and fall in its current roller coaster ride.

Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to all our readers.
