I can listen to this guy for a whole week. A rare talent.

I'm in my early thirties and had hardly ever heard about this guy (the name sort of rang a bell but I had never seen him in action) until I came across the German General Sketch on YouTube by some coincidence. There's no doubt that this man is an absolute genius. I can easily picture that sketch being done by the Pythons. A rare talent. I'll certainly be checking out the rest of his stuff.

My father was a couple years younger than Mr. Caesar. This generation went through so many things, the Depression, WWII, they worked and faced their responsibilities admirably. They knew how to converse and entertain before TV and all the modern diversions. I wish their wisdom and perspective on life could be preserved, I miss this generation already, they gave me so much ! Thanks for this video~

When does he start speaking fake German!?

Very sharp, at 86.

Great actor and comedian.I enjoyed him in the Jerry Lewis film, The Big Mouth.

[Muellerdon]

A movie was made a few decades ago called "Ten from Your Show of Shows". Ten of the best sketches from his early 50s TV show. I think you can rent it or buy it on DVD. The guy IS a genius.
