@Dave H: I only know Sid Caesar by reputation — the reputation of his writers, including Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Neil Simon, Carl Reiner and Larry Gelbart. My childhood was dominated by his creative progeny, if not the man himself.
I do have a recording of Imogene Coca — the cast album of On the Twentieth Century, from the late Seventies. She played a Crazy Lady, which could easily be covered by Carol Burnett in a revival.
