It's Throwback Thursday again and today we get another chance to go back to the 1950s and another episode of The Hickenloopers on Your Show of Shows.
Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca starred in many episodes of the hilarious marital tribulations of Doris and Charlie Hickenlooper. In this sketch, Sid Caesar plays a husband who picks up a Chinese dinner on the way home from work, unaware that his wife has spent the whole day in the kitchen cooking a steak dinner for them.
Carl Reiner joins in the fun as their neighbor, who performs some impressive sleight-of-mouth with Chinese food.
No date is
available for this sketch, which has only been released on very rare out
of print VHS/Betamax tapes. 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!
