This article isn’t actually about Woody Allen. Instead, it’s a look back at the life and forces that shaped the prolific comedian Sid Caesar. He was born to a Jewish family in Yonkers, New York in 1922. He grew up hanging around his family’s 24/7 diner, then he intended to have a career as a musician. But he found his niche in comedy and ended up a fixture on TV, working with fledgling talents like Allen and Mel Brooks.

This 2010 interview, a few years before Sid died, gives an overview of his career and his perspective looking back. He’s humble when he talks about how proud he is of his work, but also how he had long periods of being personally miserable off stage. (Sounds familiar for many comedians, sadly.)

He also has a good take on the outsized role that comedy can play for Jewish people. “Jews appreciate humour because in their life it's not too funny. We've been trodden down for a long time, thousands of years. So we've had to turn that around because if you take it all too seriously you're going to eat yourself. And we're very good at being self-deprecating. Either we do it or somebody's going to do it for us. We might as well do it first.”

Obviously I’m really into various comedies from the 60s-80s (Monkees, Ghostbusters). And I grew up watching comedies from the 90s-2000s and beyond (many of these shows ending up in syndication or on streaming services today). But this year, I want to learn more about the earlier origins of modern comedy. People like Caesar and his contemporaries, as well as earlier talents like Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Laurel and Hardy.

Some humor is universal. Some humor is more tailored to a certain context. We live in an era where, thanks to modern technology, we can access almost anything that we want! And I plan to take advantage of that more fully in 2024.

Don’t get me wrong, I spend a lot of time browsing YouTube and scrolling social media. I’m not giving up on that. I just want to use my time a bit more intentionally to understand the past and how it’s shaped our present. I think I’m going to have fun watching the source material.

Can anyone ID this photo, or give it some sort of context?

Buster Keaton at right.
