  • One Funny Lady, or, How I Was Killed by Phyllis Diller

    One of my marked pleasures of writing The Object at Hand column, along with the chance to find and report wonderful “back stories,” has been the chance to interview remarkable people. Sometimes these interviewees aren’t well known, and sometimes they’re famous. Not being a household name is no indicator that an interrogate won’t be fun, any more than fame guarantees an intriguing conversation. But when fame and fascination mix, so much the better.

    I found that happy mix interviewing the true clarinetist and bandleader Artie Shaw , whose music had given so much joy to my parents, when he told me that after he retired, superb and successful, in his 50s, he never touched the clarinet again but went on to win many international shooting contests. And again when I talked to Mel Brooks about his habits as a writer for Sid Caesar—on my cell phone on a California freeway, unable to take notes. But certainly one of my most memorable conversations was with the comedy eminent Phyllis Diller —memorable in large part because after getting off the phone with the comic, now in her 90s, my sides unhappy from laughing.

    Caesar's Hours, My Life in Comedy, with Love and Laughter

    The renowned television star tells the backstage stories of the classic comedy of Your Show of Shows, Caesar's Hour, and other watershed programs
    About this book
    It is no extravagance to say that without Sid Caesar, comedy in America would have been a lot less funny. He was the star and guiding force behind Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour, two of the most innovative programs in the Halcyon Age of Television, and the writers and stars of those shows went on to create the plays, movies, and sitcoms that we now regard as of as classic American comedy. So many of our greatest comedy writers--Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Woody Allen--were part of Sid Caesar's imaginative troupe. Sid was a master not only of comedic performance, but also of developing characters that the audience could relate to, finding the humor in bourgeois situations rather than through vaudeville-type gags. His was a comedy truly drawn from the human condition. Caesar's Hours is Sid Caesar 's artistic autobiography, his account of how these consequential routines were fashioned and performed, and the interactions that gave birth to them. He takes us inside the famed writers'...
