> In 1949, the comedian Sid Caesar brought together a legendary
group of comedy writers and created one of the biggest television hits
of the 1950s, Your Show of Shows, 90 minutes broadcast live from New
York every Saturday night. During the nine years the show was on
the air, Caesar’s writers included Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, M*A*S*H
producer Larry Gelbart, Neil Simon, and Woody Allen.
