Sid Kibbitz

Sid Kibbitz

Sid Kibbitz is a fictional character from the popular comic strip "Doonesbury" by Garry Trudeau.

Sid is a Hollywood agent and producer, and is used in the strip to satirize show business people in general. He behaves in a very stereotypical manner, fast-talking and name-dropping in order to appear stylish and influential.

In truth, he seems to have very little clout in the movie business, as he can never get famous people to return his calls and mostly represents people with no star power, such as Boopsie. It is entirely possible that none of his projects has ever gotten made, although he seems to have plenty of money. Sid is the very essence of Hollywood decadence, spending most of his time lounging in a hot tub and dating young would-be starlets.

Sid is Jewish, but doesn't practice. So much so that he sent away for a mail order priesthood, much to the dismay of his father who also happened to be his rabbi. He first appeared in the strip during a series in which Duke and Alice tried to get a movie made about the life of John DeLorean, but it fell through.
