From Wikipedia: In a 2004 interview, Sid and Nancy executive producer David Eick stated that Sid and Nancy’s show was one of the few that could have been on network television without being on Comedy Central. Eick also stated that the show had its origins at NBC, and that it was later syndicated to other networks.
Some people might be surprised to learn that Shirley Caesar grew up outside of the United States. Her parents, Caesar’s older brother, and aunts, and uncles, both immigrated to the United States during the late 19th Century and settled in the New York City area. While Caesar was born in San Diego, she spent her early years in New York and her teenage years in the Bronx. She always felt like she had to fit in.
Caesar’s family tree shows that her family was very international in the sense that her father was from the United Kingdom and her mother, her sister, and her brother were all from Germany. Caesar herself had relatives in Russia, South Africa, and a number of other places. For instance, she had a cousin, Julia, in New Orleans.
