Mr. Brooks grew up in my old Neighborhood of Brooklyn Brownville/East NY Thank you 🙏for all of your hilarious movies and so far still with us today. He was born on the same year as my father 1926.... 💪👏
@@reginamills6137 Up to about a year ago u could see him sitting at a sidewalk table w all his buddies at Porta Via in the middle of BH having lunch every Friday w his friends. He greeted and posed for pix w/ all the admirers.
Mel is a legend that spans generations. Blazing Saddles is THE funniest movie to ever have been made and when you follow the story, the line by Gene Wilder, you know...Morons, Sums it all up. In the end it shows that if you have a good heart, it doesn't matter what color your skin is. Except the Irish....Ah schitt, even the Irish. He has made some of the most memorable one liners in his movies. He shot my HAIR!
Absolute legend, Mel Brooks! "Young Frankenstein" is my favourite of his movies, too. That whole "Puttin' on the Ritz" bit damn near kills me every time I watch it.
The night I was born, Mel Brooks was on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.” My admiration of and love for him know no bounds. He is simply one of the most radiant human beings on the planet.
He ain’t dead yet. Doesn’t write much anymore but they catch up with him every so often and he’s still hilarious. In fact, he just finished doing the voice of a major character in an animated feature film.. (This was written 5Dec22. Let’s hope this is still true for years and years)
We all watched the Johnny Carson show in our family I was very young but I'm so glad my dad liked it I saw some of the best talent in history on that show they don't make em like they used to that's for sure
"It's good to be the king" Absolute legend ❤👏👏👏..Soo many classics e.g. The Producers, Men in Tights, Blazing saddles, HOTW, I am not sure which was my introduction to this gentleman, I am forever grateful for the moments created and blessed my sides never heal from laughing 🙌🥳🎊
This could have been 4 hours longer and I would have enjoyed every single minute of it. I miss Johnny Carson so much. Mel Brooks is hilarious. I use to love when Dean Martin would wonder in unexpectedly and talk with Johnny. Dean is my all time favorite entertainer! This was great television! 🤗❤
God bless Mel Brooks! Blessed be God! Thank God for the comic geniuses! God bless all the good including Johnny Carson in the Heavens Above! God bless Jesus Christ! Blessed be God All Mighty!
"His latest film, 'Young Frankenstein'." That says a lot about how fast time actually passes. I'm happy that Mel Brooks is alive. His comedy is legitimately unrivaled. I got the chance to watch "Blazing Saddles", and it was quite good. Thank goodness for Mel Brooks! :) I wish people still had the humor like they had back then.
This interview improves my mood every time. Mel is just great 🙂 And, like Robin Williams, he can easily fill the whole show as a single guest and never get boring 🙂 If you like the guy, go and find an interview Conan did with him some years ago (serious jibber-jabber series) - highly recommended.
It's funny, it wasn't until this interview that I realised Young Frankenstein is one of the few movies where he doesn't have a role for himself. Great that they managed to get the original Frankenstein equipment for that picture
@@hallelujah4296 I take it you don’t watch a lot of modern comedy, because there is plenty of stuff made today as brave and brilliant as Brooks’ work ever was. Also, the only thing Blazing Saddles really mocks disparagingly is white racism; given its premise, I guarantee most of the film would be as valid and relevant were it made today as back then.
I'm Sure Some Folks will disagree with this Quartet; but I'd Lasso him in with Ernie Kovacs, Mel Blanc, Buster Keaton, and Carl Stalling as the Funniest Humans we've Ever Scene.. 👏👏👏
I’m amazed at how old people who are the same age as I am looked back then. I noticed that when I was watching reruns of Emergency! And they were calling in their patients age

He was able to get away with things that nobody could ever do today. Which is unfortunate. Because he didn't make fun of anyone. He made fun of everyone and everything. Including, and especially, himself. Pure genius
Amazing personality who is still with us 96! TY Mr. Brooks for all your wonderfully hilarious movies.
ONE OF A KIND❤
There is a really great interview with him on Marc Maron if you want to go check it out

Only bad thing about Mel is we didn't get enough of him.
Thank God he's still with us. 🙂

He's alive.
Mel a genius. Blazing Saddles was a significant breakthrough on multiple levels.
LARGER THAN LIFE❤

“Frankensteins friend Murray”. I laughed out loud at that line.
Absolute legend, Mel Brooks! "Young Frankenstein" is my favourite of his movies, too. That whole "Puttin' on the Ritz" bit damn near kills me every time I watch it.
That was almost out of the movie.
Gene Wilder defended it; Brooks wanted it out
One word to describe Mr Mel Brooks -Brilliant , so lucky so very lucky we still have him.
That man is to the USA what Monty Python is to Great Britain. A comedic genius.
Definitely 💯
Absolutely positively
I agree Monty python sucks also
He doesn't like being a square guy
@@skyrizione8811, Monty Python definitely Does Not Suck!!

That's pretty cool!
Mel Brooks was one of the most creative comic writers ever.

I ran into him in NYC recently. He's far from dead. I wonder about Mel Heilitzer though. Haven't seen him in decades and didn't ask Mel.
Is
9:26 how's the Doc Severinsen going to gay bars off the cuff gag..
He’s still working
Mel Brooks is one of the funniest people in history.
I love this man so much, and I will be genuinely heart broken when his time comes.
Crazy when you realize this genius will be 100 years old in only 4 years. 🥰
.. and still he is barely 2000 :)
he is still going, cool
He is a legend. I grow up with his sense of humor and Movies.
Wow, Mel was really amazing, what an outstanding talent he is and what a contrast Carson is to our current crop of late night show hosts.
You mean late night crap.
We all watched the Johnny Carson show in our family
I was very young but I'm so glad my dad liked it
I saw some of the best talent in history on that show
they don't make em like they used to that's for sure

Sid Ceaser
The man was a meme factory!
Don't forget "high anxiety" and "the
12 chairs".
His best line ever.
That creativity is not sold in stores
The dude is still alive and well, what a legend lol
Laughter makes you live longer. 🙃🙂
I love how he beelines it to behind the cameras. Hilarious.
He might be the best guest ever! Hilarious!
Never heard Johnny laugh like that. Great compliment to Mel.
I would have loved to have seen that clip of Gene Wilder. Damn. Thanks everyone!
Mel Brooks is the MASTER of comedic parodies . Seen Blazzing Saddles in the drive in .
Just amazing! Cant nothing but love him!
This could have been 4 hours longer and I would have enjoyed every single minute of it. I miss Johnny Carson so much. Mel Brooks is hilarious. I use to love when Dean Martin would wonder in unexpectedly and talk with Johnny. Dean is my all time favorite entertainer! This was great television! 🤗❤
Most brilliant comedy mind of our time. The Producers is my favorite comic movie of all time.
It's one of mine too. I love his kind of humor. We don't get that anymore, thanks to the Woke Nazi's
His BEST work was the sketches he wrote for "Your Show of Shows".
You have to pay great attention to Mel to catch everything-that's how good he is-I hope he's doing well.
Never be anyone to replace these two.ever
God bless Mel Brooks! Blessed be God! Thank God for the comic geniuses! God bless all the good including Johnny Carson in the Heavens Above! God bless Jesus Christ! Blessed be God All Mighty!
I laughed very hard at his joke towards the end regarding the producers, especially the jab at the germans! :D
I love this guy and his movies
It's good to be king!
this guy is a riot i love his movies .
It really is no exaggeration when you say Mel Brooks is the funniest human being that probably will ever exist.
That bit :this looks like a nice place for a robbery is perhaps the funniest thing i heard in years
I am not sure I saw this when it was first aired. It was repeated on ME tv or Antenna TV recently. He is a genius
I was never a fan of his particular creations, but I could listen to his story telling all day.
U apparently never show the sketches he wrote for "Your Show of Shows". Brilliant
What a legend

He loved his wife Anne Bancroft beautiful couple so funny together match made in heaven 😇🙏🌺
4:00 'don't do that Pinocch'.. 😄
Could you imagine Blazing Saddles now days.
Young Frankenstein and What's Up, Doc? are my two favorite films of the 1970's.
What on earth are you doing with Howard Bannister's rocks?
@@GrantSchinto 🤣😂😁
Carson: "What's the hardest part of making the film?"
Mel: "The HOLES!"
It's funny, it wasn't until this interview that I realised Young Frankenstein is one of the few movies where he doesn't have a role for himself.
Great that they managed to get the original Frankenstein equipment for that picture
I got Robin Williams vibes with the kinetic energy.
True but Robin never originated storylines and made successful movies out of them
Mel Brooks is hilarious
I reiterate, long before television became the hate and propaganda it sadly is now.
Blazing Saddles couldn't be made today.
Hell, they barely made it then. They lied to the studio about all kinds of things.
Why not?
@@VideoAmericanStyle it couldnt be made in whats formerly known as the usa. why? because of pc🐱ez
@@VideoAmericanStyle making fun of mentally challenged people for starters..
@@hallelujah4296 I take it you don’t watch a lot of modern comedy, because there is plenty of stuff made today as brave and brilliant as Brooks’ work ever was.

Mel Brooks Comical Genius.Sid Ceasar, Howard Morris Carl Reiner Highly Intelligent Who Dressed Well, Had Deep Admiration Respect For Each Other.
This is back when people REALLY knew how to dress.
I agree! People today don't care about what they look like. Remember when we took pride and love who we loved and cared about and helping. 😁
@@rebeccaholm4937 yes. We were a lot simpler people.
This episode was from the 1970's. The general public was starting to dress like slobs. I remember wearing jeans was for working or being a rebel.
I just finished his new book All About Me. It was hard to put down!
I'm Sure Some Folks will disagree with this Quartet; but I'd Lasso him in with Ernie Kovacs, Mel Blanc, Buster Keaton, and Carl Stalling as the Funniest Humans we've Ever Scene.. 👏👏👏
I love Mel - he is fantastic
i can definitely believe that story about Sid Cesar and the cab driver. Sid was known for being freakishly strong.
With very amply endowed fifth member
This is classic !
Most brilliant comedian in history, period!
Pheeeew, you scared us for a minute.
I really miss the ol days.
Genius
50 years later, still around!
Short man, big laughs
a masterclass
Mr Brooks is a legend
If I had a dying wish it would be to have lunch with Mel Brooks. I'd probably embarras myself by spitting out my food from laughing so hard...
Yes he was the best.
@@tennissir1986 I mean, he’s still alive.
space balls forever!!!!!!!!!!!! And how many times have I watched blazing saddles? forever!!!!!!!!!!! And i want more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:50 >SPITTAKE!
Mel is one of a kind
Mel Brooks, funniest man EVER……..
Peak Mel. On top of his game.
Mel Brooks is a national treasure.
Oh god I thought he had passed for a second!
Spontaneous Comedian 💙😁
The Syd Caesar cab story....!!!
"Funny is Money" Mel Brooks
Seems like a nice guy
June 28, 1926 the mad genius.
Young Frankenstein😂drop dead funny laughed until I cried
Sweet, just sweet.
l'chaim.
THE HOLES !!!
Why can't we see the film clips.
"What do you say to people who think your comedy is vulgar?"
"BULLSHIT!"
great minds
Too bad the clip from Young Frankenstein wasn't included. What a loss...
Looking at the thumbnail, I clicked to look for when he does Harpo Marx's "Gookie Face" but I couldn't find it.
Hey, I wanted to see the film clip!
Me too.
"Do you remember birth?"...16:06.
What a treat, but I don't remember Johnny smoking.
👑
Wow, Mel looks much older than 48 here. I’d have guessed mid-60s. Remarkable that he’s still around, too.
He looks mid-60s here to me as well.
96 years old; still going strong too, so might make triple digits..
I’m amazed at how old people who are the same age as I am looked back then.
I noticed that when I was watching reruns of Emergency! And they were calling in their patients age
Yes, I'm 55 and he looks 10 years older than me.
Then again I never smoked.

I hate they can never show the film clips or any of the musical quests. You just can get the rights.

Mel Brooks' timing is quite scary. #theholes
What do you mean?
@@reginamills6137 It's just so brilliant.
48 & 50?! Wow.
Two gods in that little cigarette filled studio. Ahh... those were the days.
