   SynopsisNarrated by Rob Reiner

25 years before Saturday Night Live, Sid Caesar and his unrivaled "Dream Team of Comedy" riveted America o their TV sets every week on Your Show of Shows.Smart writing, virtuoso performances and timeless comedy created a comedic sensation that is still fresh and funny today.

Hail Sid Caesar! The Golden Age of Comedy takes a close look at the epic effort of Sid Caesar as performer, writer, and ultimately producer of a live, 90 minute television show every Saturday night, 39 weeks a year.This new documentary explores the competition and camaraderie between the giants of comedy, including; Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, Imogene Coca, Nanette Fabray, Larry Gelbart, Carl Reiner, Danny Simon, Neil Simon, and Mel Tolkin.It features side-splitting clips from Your Show of Shows and I>Caesar's Hour as well as rare photos, home movies and new interviews with Caesar's incomparable writers and stars.TV historian Joel Siegel, TV comedy star Drew Carey and Sid's wife Florence Caesar add personal insight to this landmark era of television.

Narrated by actor/director Rob Reiner, Hail Sid Caesar! The Golden Age of Comedy also goes behind the laughter where Caesar's personal demons dominated his private life.The pressures of the relentless pace mounted and suddenly Caesar's reign over live TV came to an end.But his influence is still felt today, through the generations of comedians who learned their craft from one of comedy's greatest legends.
