Clip from the 1986 HBO Special "Don't get me started" Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis Jr is struck with a baseball bat by Brother Theodore during rehearsing "Who's on first?"
THIS was a classic HBO Special !! ...." Sammy " and " Buddy Young, Jr."....Billy and Chris Guest , Rob " Marty De Bergi " ..LMFAO !! .....I am 56 soon and remember this so well !!
Karla Sheabon You misheard. What *Sammy* said was “Caesar’s-Sinai,” a play on Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. However, “Cedars-Cyanide” would be pretty funny, too!
@@originalghoul3738 no caricature of blacks as a group here, this is just a perfect impersonation of a celebrity, down to his mannerisms, speech, walk, and, yes, looks. Maybe that's why. Being an actor (Billy Crystal) that has always been adored by Hollywood and who has never embraces conservative politics doesn't hurt either.
Brother Theodore is under appreciated as a comedian. He was original and not many can say that.

OMG he’s got the Sammy Davis Jr. walk down to the T 😂
So many great lines: "karate paws," "Caesar's Sinai--I'm checkin' in," "you violated Sammy's own personal Gulf of Sidra."
"I haven't felt this bad since the Oceans 11 screening". LOLZ. If he'd only lived to see the Steven Soderberg version. Ha ha.
Absolutely hilarious! Ceasar's Sinai...Attica! (with fist) "and I meeen that!"
This is one of my all~time favorite HBO specials! " Buddy Young, Jr." and " Morty" (played by Eugene Levy"....Classic!

And no one is complaining about blackface???
You think the Sammy impression is racist?
@@zoso73 I am asking why if everyone is getting demonized with their past does this pass the radar?
