- Comedy legends Albert Brooks and Rob Reiner share intimate details of their lifelong friendship with Bill Maher. Their HBO documentary, "Albert Brooks: Defending My Life" is now streaming on Max.
Good seeing old pals still laughing about each other ❤
This subject of Rob and Albert's genuine friendship is warmly uplifting!
What an odd sentence 🤔
Well said and I agree, maxwell.......!
🤡
You can see the respect in Bill's expressions for fellow comedians who have this must dedication for their craft.
I LOVED the energy on this segment. I had no idea Albert Brooks had been that famous back in the day, but I've always loved his effortless comedy. I could watch these three talk for hours.
Watch Broadcast News❤
Cool interview! These two will be best buds like Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks well into their golden years.
Been watching All in the Family and the relevancy from 1970 to now has not changed.
During the 60s, 70s and 80s, I was extremely fortunate to see Albert Brooks, George Carlin, Steve Martin and Woody Allen all perform their stand-up comedy...in-person.
While each of them are Mt. Rushmore level comedians, I consider Brooks to be the most creative of them all. This dates back to his many appearances while still in his 20s on late night TV, the "mini-films" he did during the 1st year of Saturday Night Live, a couple of comedy albums, plus a half dozen movies he wrote, directed and starred in (my favorite being "Lost in America").
A couple of comic asides...At the end of Martin's show, he invited the entire audience, some 1,000 strong, to join him outside for some obscure reason. So, like lemmings to the sea, we dutifully followed him into the streets where he resumed his mostly ad-libbed act for another 10-11 minutes...Certifiably a "wild and crazy guy."
Allen was on a revolving stage for no more than 45 minutes---meaning he had his back to me a full 11.25 minutes. The first 20 minutes was "prepared stuff" after which he opened things up for questions from the audience. The fact that the 2nd half was funnier than the rehearsed section attested to the man's quick wit and foretold a "promising future" in show biz....(Note: It so happened that his opening act that night was Jim Croce, an engaging 30-year old singer-songwriter who had burst onto the music scene with several #1 songs and best-selling albums. Tragically, Croce would die in a private airplane crash 6 weeks later. So sad.)
One of the very best duo interviews - EVER!! Good on you Bill👍
OMG! This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen on Bill's show!!!
THE MOST beautiful thing about them is their friendship through all these years, from teenagers to super acclaimed artists and men, now that s what I m missing in my life more than the money or the fame. Fantastic Humans United 🎉
OMG, these 3 were great. Such great comedic artists, all. This is one of the best interviews I've seen on here. It was so funny.
Holy Crap! That's THE BEST Carl Reiner story....evah!! These guys are going places! What? Oh....never mind.
The new sunshine boys. best first up interview segment ever.
I wish this interview was longer. 😂😆🤣
Hmm, I was under the impression that Rob Reiner always had a burger in his hands
That's Bill Clinton
This whole episode was one of my favourites. From beginning to end, on point.
As a kid I never would have known that Meathead would have been the brains behind All in the Family?
I’ll never be able to look at rob reiner without thinking about south park
“BUTTER!!!”
I've never been able to look at him and think 🤡
All in the family for me, I see meathead every time
FYI Albert Brooks was the voice of Scorpio head of the Globex corporation that Homer Simpson worked for. He was bent on world domination and gifted Homer the Denver Broncos
When I need to relax I go to my house in Maui.
Thank you Bill for letting them do their thing .
I miss Albert Brooks. Defending your Life, Modern Romance, and Lost in America are 3 of the funniest films ever made.
You forgot ‘Mother’!
And The Muse!
@@pamcornelius9122 , yes, my favorite of his was "Mother"!
real life is his magnum opus, putz...
@HolmanHal Agreed, Lost in America is brilliant. It is one of those films that even if you're in a horrible mood and you don't feel like laughing, it will somehow make you laugh as you are resisting.
I know because I recall watching the film when life wasn't going so well, and i just wanted to lighten the room. Eventually, I ended up laughing. I was a little surprised considering how down i was feeling.
I believe it was around the time the words "twenty two" was spoken.
I haven't seen a good comedy like that in a long time.
After seeing Bill's show, I saw the movie on MAX, I roared with laughter. OMG! It was so funny, and I'm old enough to remember some of the bits Al did back in the day.
WOW!!! Brilliant Men!! Thanks for the Laughs!!!
These boys have been and forever will be 'la creme de la creme' !
Thanks for this, Bill !
I'm no talent agent, but I think these two should do a comedy tour together, like Steve Martin and Martin Short have been doing. They play well off each other, and their history helps.
IDK, I think Albert Brooks knows too much about Rob.. lmao
We old people are conservative. These two lefty losers would not be appealing to us. Most people grow out of their liberalism.
Lost In America has huge rewatchability, funny and deep
Totally agree. "Oh, you must mean the 100 thousand dollar box."
two brilliant menches. thank you for the laughter.
Albert Brooks and
Rob Reiner are all time, hilariously awesome!
Reiner is an unhinged jackass. Brooks is a comedic genius.
It's great to Reiner is still suffering from TDS😂😂😂😂
He may be, but HODS (Hillary Obama Derangement Syndrome) dates back to the early 1990s and is still virulent.
The Einstein brothers for me two of the funniest people I've ever seen.
RIP Super Dave Osborne
funniest thing I've seen on that in a longggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg time...Love Brooks and I love Rob...gotta see that movie
Those are two of the best guests Bill has ever had - I was wishing the show was two hours so to spend half of it with them.
Watch the doc. It's super entertaining.
I have never seen such awkward, boring, uninspired guests on his show.
Nothing about them seems funny - not even that pathetic escape artist "joke".
@@Zenithx3 Rob was funny on All In The Family. Albert was funny on SNL. That was all 50 years ago.
@@Zenithx3 Ok troll boy
@@Djamonjahe’s right. They suck.
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸• Excellent Guests for a One-On-One Interview • Looking forward to see the both of them in an Overtime Segment in the Future •🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Comedy legends - can’t wait to see the documentary
This clip makes me so happy - I love them both
True friendship is knowing how long your friend lasts exactly to the second.
This interview was so good 😂😂
The best segment Bill ever did
I have never seen such awkward, boring, uninspired guests on his show.

@@Zenithx3somehow I knew you’d be here on this third comment too. You old rascal you !
lol@@Bleepbloopblappp
@@Zenithx3 then you don’t know comedy
Reiner's best was on South Park! Truly inspiring.
Good to see Rita Poon on Real Time!
@davidniezwick2775 Reiner's best was the first two seasons of "All in the Family" on CBS.
@warsurplus nope not Even close...watched all in the family, if you need to search Rob Reiner south park.
@@davidnierzwick2775 I've seen and heard the South Park content. It's funny in it's own way but not on the genius level of the character that was written for him on All in the Family, especially the first two seasons in the early 1970's.
@@warsurplus it's on CZcams
So funny! I had no idea Rob and Albert were high school buddies. *Very cool!*
Brook's resume is damn impressive. But, he was one of The Tonight Show's best guests. Carson loved him. Catch his "Impersonation Kit" spot. You'll be rolling laughing.
Oh, and Al was robbed of an Oscar in Broadcast News!
Just checked it out, thanks for the rec 😂😂😂
Loved Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds in Mother. Comedy genius!
Boy, does Rob looks like his Dad. Unreal.
This is comic genius. They are ready to go on tour!
That was brilliant😂❤
Now I have to watch
rob rainer was a frequent guest at the four seasons maui. he spent a great deal of time at the pool and since i worked as a pool attendant i got to interact with him a great deal. a wonderful guest with a wonderful sense of humor. i miss our chats.
Watched Lost in America last night for like the 20th time! :)
You'll be back.
*Fun to look out the window* I have to watch this documentary.
Two comic geniuses together being hilarious . Best segment in a long time.
I have never seen such awkward, boring, uninspired guests on his show.

Rob Reiner is an unhinged clown 🤡. Albert Brooks is a comedic genius/legend.
When someone has to tell you someone else is brilliant and you hadda been there, don't believe them. Those two are crazy boring ... seems like trying to emulate two other boring old comedians, Steve Martin and Martin Short.
@@Zenithx3 Don't you have anything better to do with your life than troll on CZcams?
@@justgivemethetruth you are entitled to your opinion, even though it’s wrong. Bad analogy, as well. Totally different sort of relationship, not as long and intense.
The entire interview on the actual show was excellent. Haters like you have to hate
These are two of the funniest men ever. Hands down.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Topgun humans 💯
Defending my Life is one of the most creative movies ever made. "Take a piss"
Albert Brooks/Rib Reiner = THE BEST ❤❤❤
The voice of Hank Scorpio!
Amazing
Okay, you made up for having Ted Cruz last week.
They need a podcast.
GREAT GUYS
That was a very funny video!
Those guys are funny ! love them
I'd always wished that Albert would do an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Never happened to my knowledge.
When has a Brooks & Reiner duo ever missed? ;)
Not in the last 2,000 years--plus.
Defending your life is still ine of my favorites
Two greats
Legend. Wish this could have been the whole episode.
As a comic Albert Brooks played a great tough guy in the movie Drive.
😂😂😂😂 I used to boil an egg…😂😂😂
Just watched Albert Brooks in Taxi Driver on TCM. Hilarious.
These guys are dang funny
These are 2 of the guys who run Hollywood.
Hilarious!
I could watch these 3 for hours...
😂😂😂😂😂
Defending Your Life is amazing movie
The best!
Some old Jewish woman scolding the TV as she watches this: "Oh so that's what you call it now? At the time you told me you loved me. You know I told all my girlfriends you were a two pump chump, it's nice to finally receive some vindication..."
Icons!
awesome show so much wisdom here
Hilarious.
classic humor
Reiner..........stage 5 TDS
This makes me want to listen to the “2000 year old Man” featuring Carl and Mel Brooks ….hilarious stuff…check it out
Love those guys.
laugh out loud funny
2 of the funniest from US. May Jesus bless them.
Always great to see "The Meathead"
Funny how some people can remain friends for decades! 🙂 I'll have to try it if I make it to 95 or 100 years of age.
Comedy heaven
Legends
Im Rob Reiner and youve just been Reiner'd!!!
The Greatest Pair.
I have never seen such awkward, boring, uninspired guests on his show.
Nothing about them seems funny - not even that pathetic escape artist "joke".
Not even in the same ballpark as Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.
Love Albert Brooks on The Simpsons
Seems like Rob was worried about letting Albert talk. Might be just his way.... could have listened to Mr. Brooks talk all night.
I love hearing about great friendships
Albert Brooks, wrote, directed and starred in one of the funniest and most heart warming movies ever........
"My First Mister" If you haven't seen it, you are really missing out on a slice of greatness.
He did star in it, but written and directed by two women.
@@ralphus44
@@Brian-uy2tj It is a real good movie, very underrated. And you're right, Brooks is a fabulous comic writer, and quite a fine actor to boot.
@@ralphus44
Took Maher 10 seconds to show why is not them.
Lost in America is still one of the funniest movies ever made.
In total agreement..."22-22-22-22....She really likes 22."
It’s sad that reiners mental illness and tds isn’t treatable.
Better to have had them on Club Random. These are some Johnny Carson, late night BS stories to get laughs.
Well at least "Meathead" is in his element. Not talking politics 👍
