Imogene Coca
Say hello to Imogene Coca, a mainstay of television's first golden age who delighted audiences over a career spanning four decades. Originally a Broadway actor and a headliner in Manhattan nightclubs, Imogene started her tv career with small roles before she was added to the cast of Your Show of Shows. Her work with co-star Sid Caesar is the stuff of legend, and it earned her both an Emmy in 1952 and a Peabody award in 1953. After that classic series wrapped, Imogene remained a popular guest star on variety shows and sitcoms, as well as an Emmy-winning reunion with the Your Show of Shows cast. She brought her career full circle in 1978 with a juicy (and Tony-nominated) role in the musical "On the Twentieth Century." As always, find extended clips below and thanks for sharing our shows.

Some of the best comedy comes from the simplest of premises -- like the challenges of going out on Saturday night (the whole episode is great if you have time). https://youtu.be/MvZMP5d7_GA?si=8h7FkzwQnP_WqS3Y&t=330
Imogene's work with Sid Caesar was a big part of television's first golden age and this sketch about the circus shows why -- it's witty, fully developed, and shows off their comic chemistry.https://youtu.be/vNkO1uofb18?si=IarFnK_pW3yOONY9
Late in her career, Imogene found her way back to Broadway with a Tony-nominated performance in On the Twentieth Century, playing a religious zealot who just wants us to repent! https://youtu.be/B2My_BgcDfg?si=NA12vsONXQWoJenR
