  • The 2000 Year Old Man is a character created by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. According to Carl Reiner's son , Rob Reiner, in a 2008 interview, the characcter was originally established when Reiner and Brooks would fool around and adlib at cocktail parties. Apparently, fellow comic Steve Allen, thought the 2000 year old man was so hilarious, he convinced Reiner and Brooks to try a recording. This was the first sketch of that recording. The first sketches of this character remain a classic today.

    I recently read an memoir of Carl Reiner. It seems that he and Mel Brooks just improvised their way through all of this. It's a perfect example of what comics call "Yes...and" where the comics just kept feeding off each others answers.

    The story I heard from Mel Brooks on the documentary "Make a Noise" was that Carl Reiner and Brooks were so worried about doing the first 2,000-Year-Old Man album that Steve Allen had to make the recording in secret, after hours, and pledge not to release it if Reiner and Brooks didn't like it. Also Allen had to do a lot of heavy editing on the tape because Reiner kept laughing at Brooks' jokes. I love Carl Reiner and thank him for all the fun and laughter he gave us.

    They did the first 2000 year old man routine in 1950. Listening to them now, in February, 2020, it feels so good to laugh -- laugh so hard that tears run down my cheeks! I think my personal favorite is Brooks's answer to Reiner's question, "What was the main form of transportation back then?" "Fear." And certainly, comedy -- the ability to make us laugh -- has to be the absolutely best thing human beings have ever discovered -- better and more essential to our survival than the discovery of space or the invention of Saran Wrap.
