How lovely to hear Matthew and Nathan sing some of those songs again! I was lucky enough to see them as Bialystock and Bloom on Broadway in 2001, and it was fantastic!
I went with a music group to NYC in 2001. I was offered a ticket to the Lion King or a to "some new show, but we don't know what it'll be." The Lion King was amazing, but I'm still jealous of those that went to the "new show" and got to see Matthew and Nathan.
I was lucky enough to see them when they returned to the show a few yrs later. Could not get tix the 1st time around. I think Nathan & Matthew were doing a little improvising during the show. Had the best time--what a great show!
@@ultraviolettas I love finding out what people thought were funny before I was born, for about a year now I have been watching the oldest movies I can find and falling in love with the humor while also finding a deep deep love for the theater I can go on for days and days about how much research I have gathered over this one singular year.
They did a beautiful job!!! Nathan and Matthew ❤❤. Mr. Brooks, there are no words to describe your place in our hearts, so a huge Thank You, for all you've given to the World!!! Much love from Michigan.
There will never, ever, ever be anyone like Mel Brooks. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten this honor already. He deserves all of the honors. He's a genius
They both voiced characters for the original animated The Lion King! Nathan Lane voiced Timon, and Matthew Broderick voiced adult Simba. Hakuna matata!
Because this evening was not only badly written, but also badly directed. It would have been nice for them to have rehearsed Broderick and Lane. It’s like they were reading the cue cards for the first time.
I agree! I kept waiting to see that cute, shining face with the big grin. Maybe he wasn't feeling his best and asked not to be shown. Love you, Uncle Mel.
They didn't show him during the monologue either, even though they showed every other recipient. I think he's just not real keen about being shown these days.
I'm in here singing along and clapping with the biggest smile on my face!!! Mell Brooks is LIFE!!! My Daddy has been super serious always and one day when I was about 13, he sat me down and said we were going to watch the BEST movie ever created. I expected it to be yet another war film. But, nope. It was *Blazing Saddles!* That was the moment my Daddy became even more of a hero to me because it showed he wasn't just brilliant, loving, and a great provider, but he was also a total goofball!!! over 40 years later, he's still my hero and we still quote lines and songs from Mell Brooks movies together! 🥰🤗
That’s not… I mean… I know you’re intentions are so good but like… I don’t think Matthew Broderick would appreciate being described as “like a small boy”. 🤣
Even though here in the US we're on the cusp of becoming 1935 Germany, "Springtime for Hitler" remains hilarious. No ordinary man could write that song and have it stay funny for 50 years. Mel Brooks is no ordinary man. He will forever be a national treasure.
Yeah I have watched the Oscar’s every year for over 20 years and seen every best picture nominee. That being said… this is better than what we’ve seen in a long time.
Easier affair. More relaxed. Only four previously announced winners. Time to do bits. Nobody is biting on their nails, and they don't need watch for commercial breaks.
I was a sickly kid who was home a lot from school. But lucky enough to have a TV, with a local channel that showed older movies….like the original Producers, I instantly fell in love with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel., and Mel Brooks. That was 52 years ago, and I can say Mel Brooks is still my favorite movie maker.
Never have had the pleasure of meeting him or his magical wife Anne, but oh how much they, & all the amazing artists they gathered to bring to life their creations, have meant to me. Mr Brooks is one of those people who represent the best of what humans can be. Congrats, good health & lots’a love 💕
OMG, Matthew is an ageing adult! 😂 Such a damned shock! 😂 I still picture him as he was as Ferris!😂 Makes me feel so old! 😂 Nathan never seems to age though!😂 Nathan still hasn’t lost his ability to put on a show!
Happy Birthday Nathan Lane. U and Matthew Broderick were amazing legends, man. I loved The Lion King 1, 2 Simba's Pride and 1 ½. Amazing. Disney movies r awesome, love them. Kool one's, better one's. Even romantic one's. Nathan, u were great in Stuart Little 1 and 2 is great. Not bad. Me and my brother loved Austin Powers 3 In Goldmember. It was hilarious. We seen part 1 and 2. Great movies. And Mouse Hunt is also funny. I love the part when that mouse was understand the sandwich, when the brothers almost got the mouse. And Ernie in the chimney, he was flying. LOL. Oh shit. Wow. Mouse Hunt is great, it remind me Tom & Jerry. Its complicated. UR talented Nathan. Full support. May the Peace be with u Timon. From Harlingen Texas. February 2, 1956 February 2, 2024 through February 2, 3024
No one every made me feel like someone 'Til him Life was really nothing but a glum one 'Til him My existence bordered on the tragic Always timid, never took a chance Then I felt his magic and my heart began to dance I was always frightened, fraught with worry 'Til him I was going nowhere in a hurry 'Til him He filled up my empty life, filled it to the brim There could never ever be another one like him. All my respect and my Love, Mr. Brooks, and May the Schwartz be with you.

Ive been listening to Mel reading his most recent autobiography, and much of it is about getting The Producers produced. He only gets more brilliant❣️😄👍🏽✌🏽🕊️☮️💙💚
I am proud to admit that I own every one of Mel's movies going back to "The 12 Chairs". I remember being in school and while in study hall or at lunch my friends and I would do whole scenes of Mel's movies. Oppenheimer, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Coda, Nomadlands, all hacks compared to Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, Dracula, Dead & Loving It, History of the World, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, The 12 Chairs. His movies are part of not only my life, but of every American who knows how to laugh. A Jewish screenwriter, married to a Catholic Actress, (Ann Bancroft) who both starred in a hilarious movie about the nazis in 1939 Poland, "To Be or Not To Be", should have received an Oscar for that movie alone. The man who brought some of the best movies ever seen in cinema has finally received his Oscar. I am thrilled Mel is still alive to have received it personally. It's a shame they waited so long. Congratulations Mr Brooks, for your Oscar and thank you for giving me years of laughter. We love you.
Much respect to the person doing sign language at the front during the fast songs. Well deserved Mel Brooks - I love watching younger people react to your movies nowadays on TH-cam
Glad to see there was an ASL interpreter in the room. However, when broadcasting it elsewhere (like TH-cam), please include a window with a focus on the ASL interpreter so that Deaf/HoH folks can have an option that might be more accessible than auto-generated craptions. We're a couple years past the point where Crip Camp was a nominee and the Academy was getting a crash course in how to finally make things more accessible. Please don't chuck those lessons away.
I love the duo. The Produceurs/The Odd Couple..❤️👏 Nathan Lane is my favorite actors in the World. So underrated.... Specially in théâters (the best) for Hollywood. Guys in dolls, Love valor compassion, Addams Family, November, The Nance (❤️), Angels in America (👏)... And many more. Série TV : Modern Family, Good Wife, Penny Dreadful City in Angels❤️🔥, Only Murder, Gilded Age.
Happy Birthday Matthew Broderick. UR amazing legend. Seriously! I love Godzilla. Its awesome, great movie. Killing a giant Dinosaur. Wow. Totally awesome. Me and my younger brother, we love it. Oh yeah, I seen both Godzilla movies. One in 2014 the other King of the Monsters 2019. Hardcore. The Lion King 1, 2 and 1½ is great. I love Disney movies. Same for Inspector Gadget. Its not bad... and WarGames, I saw it in HighSchool, 2009 or 2012, I guess. Pretty kool. U were incredible. I played in the computer wargames also. It was on *gamepost.* U and Nathan were great in The Lion King. Full support u Matthew and Nathan. May the Peace be with u Matthew Broderick. From Harlingen Texas.

Nathan Lane simply doesn't get old
He's been 40 for the past several decades!
I am so happy that Mr. Brooks got this honor! Also, I am so happy that Nathan and Matthew got the chance to honor him.

That sign language interpreter deserves a raise - translating all that must have been hugely hard work!
My thoughts exactly! Not to mention keeping up with those rhythms! What a gig.

They both voiced characters for the original animated The Lion King! Nathan Lane voiced Timon, and Matthew Broderick voiced adult Simba. Hakuna matata!
But 2 voices of adult Simba. Matthew was the speaking voice & Joseph Williams was the singing voice.
MATTHEW AND NATHAN FOREVERRRRRRRRRR
How are they not showing Mel reacting?! That would
Be the best part! Nathan commanding the stage per usual tho and Matthew’s sweet awkwardness ❤❤❤
Because this evening was not only badly written, but also badly directed. It would have been nice for them to have rehearsed Broderick and Lane. It’s like they were reading the cue cards for the first time.
I agree! I kept waiting to see that cute, shining face with the big grin. Maybe he wasn't feeling his best and asked not to be shown. Love you, Uncle Mel.
Yeah my guess is that Mel wasn't up to it and/or asked not to be shown. Doesn't diminish the sweetness of this tribute in my opinion
It wasn't a televised event it makes sense
They didn't show him during the monologue either, even though they showed every other recipient. I think he's just not real keen about being shown these days.

one of the coolest EGOTS of allllll time!!! Mr Mel Brooks!!!!
Mel is absolutely The Greatest and Nathan and Matthew are the appropriate opening act for Mel's appearance.
We’re going together through it. Polls in January are not accurate.
Matthew is still so cute for his age! 😍 His smile and voice are still like a small boy.
That’s not… I mean… I know you’re intentions are so good but like… I don’t think Matthew Broderick would appreciate being described as “like a small boy”. 🤣
@@TheCakeisHere 😂
Oh, Jess, c'mon! Don't be so square!@@TheCakeisHere
The blood of Irish women driving keeps him young
Matthew never gets old and he will always sound like Ferris, so youthful and a great under rated actor
What does "underrated" mean to you? He is one of the most respected people in Hollywood and on Broadway.
His hair looks gorgeous, honestly.
@@petrify4814it looks so soft
I guess the blood of Irish women driving kept him young 😐
Very cool to see Simba and Timon present an award.
Wish Pumbaa was there!
I love Nathan Lane! My favorite of him was Robin Williams and Nathan in The Birdcage. I never laughed so hard as I did with that movie.
Timon & Simba. Both give a presentation about Mel Brooks.
9:00 I was not ready for that 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Matthew gave off "Awkward Karaoke" vibes during the song
Even though here in the US we're on the cusp of becoming 1935 Germany, "Springtime for Hitler" remains hilarious. No ordinary man could write that song and have it stay funny for 50 years. Mel Brooks is no ordinary man. He will forever be a national treasure.
Your not kidding….
You are both idiots
Oh yeah I forgot that they added the fuhrer position to the us government and were executing all those people
Well deserved for Mel! Such a comedic genius! Also, Simba and Timon together again!
Bravo! Bring them back to Broadway!!!
From everything I have seen, this Governor's ball was done better than the actual Oscars.
The Oscar's haven't happened yet but you probably aren't wrong!
Yeah I have watched the Oscar’s every year for over 20 years and seen every best picture nominee. That being said… this is better than what we’ve seen in a long time.
Easier affair. More relaxed. Only four previously announced winners. Time to do bits. Nobody is biting on their nails, and they don't need watch for commercial breaks.
I'm impressed by the ASL interpreter keeping up with the song
Nathan's rendition of I'm Tired is a great tribute to Madeline Kahn. Everything below the waist is kaput!

Congratulations Mr Brooks!!! Thanks for the laughs and songs!
I still only hear Timon and Simba talking. The PTSD of The Lion King is so real. Lol. That sh*t really stays with you.
Never have had the pleasure of meeting him or his magical wife Anne, but oh how much they, & all the amazing artists they gathered to bring to life their creations, have meant to me. Mr Brooks is one of those people who represent the best of what humans can be. Congrats, good health & lots’a love 💕
Bravo !!! Well deserved he has made us all guffaw with laughter for many decades. Not just an American but a world legend of film and Comedy.
Mel is such a national treasure.
OMG, Matthew is an ageing adult! 😂 Such a damned shock! 😂 I still picture him as he was as Ferris!😂 Makes me feel so old! 😂 Nathan never seems to age though!😂 Nathan still hasn’t lost his ability to put on a show!
I think Matthew looks great!
Well arranged. Good performance. Wow, Lane is a Broadway Classic. And Mel Brooks, well, he's older than comedy. Because he created it.
Makes me so happy to see Nathan and Matthew together again 🥰
Love how Matthew didn’t know the lyrics for one of the parts

Thank You Mel Brooks
Im incredibly sad that i went two months not knowing this happened. But here i am. Better late than never. Mel. Thank you. For everything.
No one every made me feel like someone
'Til him
Life was really nothing but a glum one
'Til him
My existence bordered on the tragic
Always timid, never took a chance
Then I felt his magic and my heart began to dance
I was always frightened, fraught with worry
'Til him
I was going nowhere in a hurry
'Til him
He filled up my empty life, filled it to the brim
There could never ever be another one like him.

Mel Brooks looks great. Why did the broadcast never cut to him?
This is another video of him coming up on stage and accepting the award.
Ive been listening to Mel reading his most recent autobiography, and much of it is about getting The Producers produced.
He only gets more brilliant❣️😄👍🏽✌🏽🕊️☮️💙💚

I absolutely love Nathan Lane. So nice to see him here ….
That poor ASL Interpreter during The King of Broadway!
“He can do it. He can make you laugh…🎶"
Mel Brooks, American treasure ❤
The Producers was almost named Springtime for Hitler. True story. Either way, Mel is a legend
Nathan Lane amazing as ever ❤❤❤
Poor Nathan carried that song himself!! Bravo honey!!
* Mathew looked bored🤷
Matthew was in London rehearsing a play and traveled only to honor Mel, he's obviously tired.
That was painful but sweet at the same time
No one in that room got the "It's good to be king" joke... God..
Much respect to the person doing sign language at the front during the fast songs. Well deserved Mel Brooks - I love watching younger people react to your movies nowadays on TH-cam
Every time I see them, I wish we could see more of them!! (I love watching Matthew turning into Nathan! Lol!!)
Was...was Mel there? Is he okay? Why didn't they ever cut to him?
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe he asked not to be shown on screen? Very strange.
When you die at the palace, you really die at the palace.
Nathan
Is it nice to see Simba and Timon to do honor for comedian legendary Mel Brooks.
Such a gem!!!!!!
anything mark shaiman touches turns to gold.
Mel Brooks is almost entirely responsible for my “inappropriate” sense of humor and societal ineptitude. Thank you, Mel Brooks.
This guy has been important to me and my brother and the movies and jokes he made are so genius to the core. Congrats to mel
~Blazing Saddles~.....turns.....(50?)....!!!
Now I'm feeling old...😢😅
When anybody talks about Mel it just makes me smile and sort of tear up. There will never ever be another.
This should be in the main event
These guys were great. The audience felt a little flat
Just a thought, Lane and Broderick, both Fab, Mel Brooks, WOWZER, Phenomenal and please keep the kind thoughts for Mel's BF Carl Reiner.
Mel Brooks totally deserves this! One of the funniest people ever!
my favorite movie clip, High Anxiety when Madeline Kahn answers the phone and she thinks it is a sex call. "You animal!" funniest scene ever!
