This Is Your Story Part 1

UNCLE GOOPEEEE!!!!

Look at the beginning & the guy on the left side of the audience who had really fallen asleep & woke up & straightens himself up during the commotion. And how some of them really seem to expect to be called! I'm always shocked at how OLD people looked years ago. Kids in my parents & older siblings high school yearbooks looked like they were in their 30s & 40s!

@Arieliondotcom They weren't old, they were mature.

@Arieliondotcom Apparently you missed the saucy teen sirens sitting in the front row.

This is such a classic skit! Whenever I see it I still find myself laughing out loud. The live audience really makes it so much more funny too! Thanks for posting it.

Genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HazyChase20]

This is hilarious!

And I wasn't even born in the 50's!

[shanghaibenny2]

I remember the first time I saw this. I almost busted a gut laughing.

[cynthiacher]

One of the funniest comedy sketches ever done on tv...fantastic!

[CadillacL]

I didn't get to see this show back in the day (was born in '71) However, I've seen this clip & its some of the best comedy around. Comic's should take note.

The story behind this sketch was that during rehearsal Sid Caesar ran in different directions... I guess it was to throw everyone off during the live show.  Really hysterical to watch.

[bronxperson1966]

This is one of my favorite Your Show of Shows sketches. Thanks for the date of this broadcast (Sat Sep 20 1952)... the whole segment in the live audience is what i love...you also saw how folks dressed just to see a live tv show back then.

[JOHNSTAGS]

That blows me away that he was only 30 when he did this sketch

[fromthesidelines]

This first aired on September 20, 1952. The man sitting next "Al Duncey" in the audience is NBC executive David Tebet {as Sid later recalled}...

[yardleyaloe]

Sid is 86 years young. We adore you, Mr. Sid!

[JTPolo101]

Does anyone have a clip of Sid's take off on the movie "The Bicycle Thief" and a skit with him and Imogene where they are in court and Imogene is accused of throwing garbage out of her window *LOL* Funny Funny stuff

[JTPolo101]

One of my favorite skits of all time *LOL*

[bronxperson1966]

I agree with you...

[yardleyaloe]

THE FINEST BRAND OF COMEDY I HAVE EVER SEEN! Totally Hilarious! Sid is a genuis.

[netcinema]

Hilarious! ...is a mild word! This is TRUE comics at work. A whole generation has lost the meaning thru senseless sitcoms now on TV. Some school should have this required class: Really Funny Stuff 101. Clips like this, from YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS, would be the main course.

[cynthiacher]

Oh my God! This sketch is one of the funniest things on tv or anywhere else! The first time I saw it my jaw got stiff from laughing.

[pinkyfan1]

i watched it last night and laughed so hard. oh how brilliant they were!!!!
