Reply to comment by lightninhopkins in TIL The Dick Van Dyke Show was originally written entirely by Carl Reiner, about stories from Reiner's life, and starred Carl Reiner. The pilot was unsuccessful so it was reworked with Dick Van Dyke playing Robert Petrie. by jamescookenotthatone

Sid Caesar was Jewish, and so was Milton Berle, and both had shows that had aired on TV before The Dick Van Dyke Show.
