Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, and Carl Reiner remember Sid Caesar and the 2000 Year Old Man bit during a segment from the 2013 AFI Life Achievement Award.

I can't help but admire these men. At their age, they can still remember things that happened ages ago and qoute them as if they were recent events. Really good memories.
The segment I like the best is when Carl asks how many children he has, Mel Brooks rambles on about how many doctors, lawyers, accountants he has...... .AND NOT ONE COMES TO VISIT.
The supreme irony is that Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart [ M.A.S.H.] and Neil Simon [ The Odd Couple, The Heartbreak Kid, Biloxi Blues, Promises, Promises ] all began their careers as comedy writers for Sid Caesar on Your Show Of Shows and Caesar's Hour, however, Caesar's career went into an eclipse in the early 60s and he couldn't make the transition into successful films, with the exception of Mad, Mad World. The respective writers achieved great success in stage and films as writers and directors.
Man I wish I could have been there one night when Woody and Mel were walking home together in Brooklyn, just listened to these two titanic geniuses of comedy and different aspects of Jewish shtick talking together
May Mel be the best looking 2000 year old man!
I love that the audience is laughing so much :’)
Read Mel’s book, “It’s Good to be the King.”

You didn't need much talent to be successful on TV in the 1950's: Sid Cesaer, Milton Berle, George Burns, Jack Benny or Red Skelton. Low-talent hacks with no competition for a captive audience forced to decide on which of 3 channels to watch.

Put another way: you need to be immensely talented to get on prime tv since there were only three channels. Imagine the competion then compared to now when there's hundreds, upon hundreds of tv channels where low-talent hacks find it easy to get hired.
