SID CAESAR: Chinese Food [THE HICKENLOOPERS] (YOUR SHOW OF SHOWS - VERY rare sketch)

The Hickenloopers put a different spin on "What's for Dinner?," while Carl Reiner, as their neighbor, performs some impressive sleight-of-mouth with Chinese food.
NOTE: No date is available for this sketch, which has only been released on very rare out of print VHS/Betamax tapes. My undying gratitude to KJH, the uber-fan of Sid Caesar in Pennsylvania who found these tapes, had them transferred digitally, and shared them with me so that I could make them available on RUclips

This show was so great. Now you can see where everything that came after it came from. Thanks for posting it.

Why thank you ! And your friend. And thank you, America, for Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks etc. from a Brit big fan of American humour,

[@epsteinisms1483]

Hi Eddie! I'm a Yank who has loved the brilliance of Sid Caesar for many years. That being said I likewise have a particular fondness for British humor. Some of the greatest comedy films in history have originated on the other side of the Atlantic pond. To name just a few of my ultra-favorites: The Happiest Days Of Your Life, Genevieve, Belles of St. Trinian's, The Ladykillers, The Mouse That Roared, Tom Jones. Not enough room here to list the "doctor" series or the "carry on" series. So - thank YOU for all the wonderful laughs you sent our way!

I see some thumbs down. You guys have absolutely no sense of humor.

Very good. Thank you.
