It's Throwback Thursday again, and today we're turning the clock back more than 60 years to revisit the antics of Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Carl Reiner, and Howard Morris in a performance of The Garbage Sketch, which plays out in a courtroom scene.
No date is available for this sketch, which has only been released on very rare out of print VHS/Betamax tapes. It's from Your Show of Shows, a TV show that was aired from 1950 to 1954.
We're grateful to a Sid Caesar super fan who found these tapes, had them
transferred digitally, and shared them with a poster who made them
available on YouTube.
Enjoy!
