More What's My Line?
We've had more than a bit of discussion on these pages lately about Carl Reiner. And here and elsehwere, most discussion of his careers notes him coming to prominence on Sid Caesar's TV programs, Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour. So, I thought it would be nice to bring Sid Caesar in as the 'Mystery Guest' on this episode of What's My Line?. The panelists don't have all that difficult a time with him, given that he was then starring on Broadway in the musical Little Me, for which he was nominated for a Tony Award as Leading Actor in a Musical, and was also so prominent in television. So, once the two pieces were put together, they're over the hurdle. And most of the conversation after the game is others talking about him, while he's rather quiet. But it's still fun to see. If you want to jump right to the segment, it starts around the 16-minute mark.
