On February 18, 2014, comedian Mel Brooks and Conan O’Brien paid tribute to the late, great Sid Caesar on Conan. Among the subjects discussed were Sid’s masterful gibberish, his talent at improv, why he never broke into movies and of course, his size and his strength. Judging by Conan’s tweet, it was a very good time. And as it turns out, Conan does a pretty good impression of Mr. Caesar’s gibberish.

Tonight I fanboy out with @MelBrooks about one of my comedy heroes, Sid Caesar. Also, I make an apology for using the phrase "fanboy out."
