I've watched so many of these. They are so better than the oscars! there is a genuine love and carrying and appreciation and none of that stuff just done for the public or viewers at home. You genuinely can see the appreciation for one's work and life and their contribution. It just makes the oscar an empty show to promote certain pictures which nobody really wants to participate in.
This event took place in 2013, Gene didn't pass away until 2016. But as you mentioned, I'm sure even then he wasn't in the greatest of health to attend, sadly.
This is how tributes used to be done folks. Funny, classy and not a mean-spirited vibe anywhere. And delivered with exceptional talent and grace. Long gone.
Love that Mel Brooks PTA story. That is exactly the kind of shtick he would ALL the time. Those who knew him say he was far funnier than even his movies.
@@92RedRevolver He also just got Rick Moranis to sign on to spaceballs sequal. Hes like 92 but its incredible how he still is just as quick and able. I love him so much
from one one of the greats today to one of the greats from before...a perfect tribute speech and who'd expect any less from Billy Crystal? (PS let me get this straight: Denzel Washington and freaking Babs Streisand have won this and NOT Crystal? what a joke...but that's Hollywood for you)
BILLY CRYSTAL , ONE OF BEST OSCARS PRESENTER AND ONE BEST COMEDIANS EVER FOR SURE
Mel Brooks and Billy Crystal. Comedy legends, both of them.
Mel and Carl, best friends duo ever. RIP Carl. We all loved you.
This is such a brilliant and wonderfully sincere tribute to genius Mel Brooks.
he's suffered a lot of loss in the past few years.
Mel Brooks is one of my all time comedy heroes
Mine too.
I've met them both in Chicago at different times...I SERIOUSLY can die... Two huge heroes, who've helped me through difficult trying times.
or you could die as a new born in Syria....who knows.....
Billy is the best Oscar host ever.
man that last sentence. what a life, huh? throw in touring with Robin Williams, and being Billy Crystal...
Mel Brooks is one of the funniest people ever.
The great ones make it look easy .
Billy is a comedic genius😄
Hello soho. How are you?
Love Billy and Mel

If only Gene Wilder was alive that night and has healthy. RIP The man, the myth, the legend Gene Wilder

Gene reach to send a Video to this Ceremony!
No one tells stories like Billy. He always has those little smiles - like he's thinking "this part is funny".
One of the funniest men ever saluting one of the funniest men ever.
Time to give Billy his.
Thank you, Mel Brooks, for giving us Billy Crystal!! (Love you both. And you, too, Carl Reiner!!)
Billy Crystal is the POPE of entertainment
Mel's autobiography "All of me" is a very good one.
Billy Crystal & of course Mel Brooks!! Classic.
I love both of them sooo much!!!
Cant wait for Billy to win his!! #comedy
Two lucky, incredibly talented performers, among so many others. Great video! Thank you! BH

@@MrFungu5 Haha, that was what I was thinking...didn't he reproduce The Producers in the UK like two years ago?
@@92RedRevolver He also just got Rick Moranis to sign on to spaceballs sequal. Hes like 92 but its incredible how he still is just as quick and able. I love him so much

メルブルックス夫妻は素晴らしい才能
priceless. thx
I SAW MISTER MEL BROOKS IN 1982 at twenty CENTURY FOX STUDIO.
from one one of the greats today to one of the greats from before...a perfect tribute speech and who'd expect any less from Billy Crystal? (PS let me get this straight: Denzel Washington and freaking Babs Streisand have won this and NOT Crystal? what a joke...but that's Hollywood for you)
I love Billy Crystal, but you're seriously saying his film contribution is greater than Denzel Washington's and Streisand's? lol
THE BEST OF AN ERA MISSED DEARLY
waltonwayaugusta but he’s still alive.....
Mickey Mantle or Muhamad Ali?
Amy Yasbeck looks incredible at 52
Could you imagine if Mel Brooks and Billy Crystal worked together?
great
Judd Apatow brought me here
What the fuck took u so long to honor Mel Brooks
Sorry.
2:41 who is she?
As of 3 1/2 weeks ago..........Billy's opening remarks became very poignant...0:24........RIP Carl Reiner!!!!
Billy you always fail to make me laugh
never, you ment never √√√
We'll never see the likes of these people again, too many tech distractions. The younger generations just don't have the stuff...
People would say Mel's comedy was racist these days.
yes they would and i really can see Mel asking that too, his son though you can see him think to himself not this story again oh god
Why?
Some of the jokes in blazing saddles are racist but its him making fun of it
