. We lost Jonathon Winters last year. Mickey Rooney, Jerry Lewis Pretty sure Jerry Lewis is still with us.
To: lee martell
Doris Day is still with us, and a (under-appreciated) talent.

May he rest in peace.
He was one of the funniest—and cleanest—comedians in the world.
I saw him in person many times whenI was in the studio audience at “Show of Shows”.
My friend’s mom worked in an exclusive Madison Av. shop where all the stars came in. They gave her comps.
For the price of a subway ride (10 cents each way), I saw the greatest of the great!
Love you, Sid!

I object! Hoffman wasn’t in the same class as Temple and Caesar.
To: lee martell
Agree about Hoffman.
I adored Sid and Shirley. So...if it’s someone else I adore who goes next, it will probably be Olivia De Haviland.

Sure he was. If he wasn’t as famous in his time as they were in theirs that’s only because the audience has fragmented.

I guess I could’ve phrased that better. Both Rooney and Lewis are still living. I’m not sure if there are any others.

Yep. More clips of the clown movie have turned up.
To: Borges
Let me be more blunt: Hoffman played parts which Caesar and Temple would have refused based on the depravity of the role. Thus he is not in the same class as those greats.
To: Dr. Ursus
He gave Woody Allen his start.

Yes only flawless people should be depicted. I take it then that Marlon Brando and Robert DeNiro aren’t in Shirley and Sid’s class either.

I’ve seen Victor Borge perform live and there is no vulgarity to his act.

Mary Tyler Moore, perhaps? She’s not doing well at all.

RIP Mr. Caesar. We used to watch “Your Show of Shows” when I was a kid.

I agree, Hoffman was a drug addict who threw himself a heroin party and offed himself..Shirley Temple and Sid Caesar were icons.
