Sid Caesar aka Isaac Sidney Caesar
Comedian and comic performer -- via the L.A. Times. The king of live comedy, my hero, in more ways than one. With Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, and Howie Morris, he created the first great live comedy on American television. "Your Show of Shows" taught us all how to write sketch comedy. He could do anything, and instantly. Best double-talker and improviser. His memoir "Where Have I Been" showed me a way out of a very self-destructive path as well.
From the New York Times obituary -- “Everybody wants to have a goal: I gotta get to that goal, I gotta get to that goal, I gotta get to that goal,” he said. “Then you get to that goal, and then you gotta get to another goal. But in between goals is a thing called life that has to be lived and enjoyed — and if you don’t, you’re a fool.”
