About this listen
Meet celebrated NY Times columnist and author David Margolick whose latest project is a thorough and exceptional biography of one of the living legends of comedy. David Margolick is the author of, “When Caesar Was King: How Sid Caesar Reinvented American Comedy.” By the mid 1950’s Sid Caesar and “Your Show of Shows” captivated millions of American TV watchers. As he rose to super- stardom, Sid fostered the careers of several larger-than-life comedy disciples including Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart, and Neil Simon among others. Sid’s tumultuous personal life is examined closely. Caesar was the quintessential sad clown whose climactic highs were often out done by crushing letdowns. It’s a fascinating look at genius, a book that I found impossible to put down!
