Summary
In 1949, television was an infant technology. No one knew how long or whether it was going to last at all. A 27-year-old Broadway star, along with a team of writers and performers who would become legendary, including Imogene Coca, Nanette Fabray, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, Neil Simon and Woody Allen, revolutionized sketch comedy by telling stories rooted in the human condition. They redefined television sketch comedy, and paved the way for landmark comedy shows like Saturday Night Live, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Carol Burnett Show, In Living Color, and MADtv. A comprehensive collection of the best work of Caesar and his team. This is a comprehensive collection of the best work of Caesar and his teams, beginning with The Admiral Broadway Revue, through Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour, and features many interviews and extras including the 2014 Paley Center for Media Tribute with Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner and Billy Crystal
