I love that man ! no one can make me laugh like Mel Brooks ! A American treasure ! ❤
Still waiting for Space Balls 2 the Search for more Money
I hope he lives to be over a hundred years old
*He's an American treasure!
If America had knighthood, he and Reiner would my top nominees.
@@jonathanjollimore4794it’s coming soon
The fact that this man is still alive and going to make 'History of the world Part 2' is amazing. I love Mel Brooks
Part 2 don't sound like him
Can’t believe he’s still alive at 96 he’s looking good for his age and has energy!
I fear around that age, he’s not going to be around much longer.
he is born in 1926. that is amazing!!! Greetings to him from the netherlands
His comedy is needed today more than ever.
He kept a youthful spirit.
The secret to life
Among being the greatest comedy director, comedian, and storyteller of all time. He was a Combat Engineer during the Battle of the Bulge
Don’t think so
@@helaina400 well he was.
@@helaina400Try saying to your phone, "Did Mel Brooks serve in the army in WWII". Turns out he WAS a combat engineer in the Battle of the Bulge. Not knowing is one thing, but willful ignorance is something else altogether. Maybe research prior to commenting next time?
I love this man so much. That he could live forever, please.
I’m afraid he can’t live forever, because no one can.
And seems to his age, it may almost be time to put Mr. Brooks out to pasture.
@@evanholloway1692I at least hope he makes it to 100..
An American Legend AND Comedy Treasure!!
I've howled with laughter, in the theaters, over years at Blazing Saddles, Silver Streak, Young Frankenstein and SO MANY more of Mel Brooke's productions.
Mel had no involvement with Silver Streak.
@@louisborselio8608....
Shut up
He was ALWAYS ahead of his time and never let the biases and prejudices of others taint his love of comedy. This comedic genius of a man gave Dave Chappelle his big break in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" in 1993.
I absolutely Love Mel Brooks. Adore him. He is a comedic genius and funny as.
They didn't mention that Mel also produced the classic drama The Elephant Man. He didn't put his name on it because it was so heavily associated with comedy.
He also produced "The Fly" remake.
@@EmilyGloeggler7984 Thanks, I didn't know that.
Emily. Commenting on a non opera post!?
give me the energy, give me the humanity, give me the beauty of this guy.
Love from scotland
The brilliance of Blazing Saddles, that many people miss, is that the townspeople were angry when Sheriff Bart showed up, but at the end of the film nobody called him names and all of the townspeople begged him to stay. They were sad to see him leave.
What a beautiful soul!
Still funny and witty at 95. ❤
Still funny and witty at 96!
98!
Mel is part of an era that has been missed dearly.
We miss you
Frank
Dean
Don
Sammy
All of them
Mel still amazing
Mel’s work on Get Smart is for the ages……..😄👍🏾👍🏾
The Cone of Silence!
It truly IS good to be the King. Mel Brooks is the King of Comedy and I really don't think that anything I was to write after that would add to the statement.
"The Lord has given unto you these Fifteen..."
*Drops tablet*
"Ten Commandments for you to obey."
Now that's comedic gold right there. 😂
they lost the best 5...
Darn
What a class act. He still cracks me up.
95 yrs old. Unbelievable. I’m not that sharp at 50.
Reading this book now... Magic! I laugh and laugh. Ok.... I sometimes weep with joy. Buy it immediately !! Thank you Mel.
Still sharp as ever with his wit, at 95. I love the "ow" in the beginning.
Wonderful interview with an absolute legend.
God, Mel is incredible. He's got the same energy and sense of humor he's always had.
Phenomenal interview. Young Frankenstein is my favorite movie. Great writing, acting, packaging, and hilarity all caught on a black and white scene.
Mel Brooks: HUmble, down to earth, funny. Such a shame that we lost Carl Reiner . And ALL the rest of the wonderful funny artists . Sad, so sad.
I hope Mel stays with us until he's at least 100!
My late husband and I used to trade lines from Mel Brooks' movies. We'd watch them over and over. I still watch especially Blazing Saddles, History of the World, and Young Frankenstein - and I still laugh myself sick! 🤣 Thank you, Mel Brooks! 🤗
- Frau Blücher....
- NEEEEEEEIIIIIGH
😂😂😂👍
Love Mel. Not many left like him sadly
FR🙄
This man bless him my grandmother loved watching him.
Living legend

Reading the book now.. A touch of a class in a world so crass, thanks Mel for making us laugh till we fall on our ass.
Yksi rakkaus! Olen 80-luvun lapsi Suomesta ja Mel Brooks is a jewel, a lifeline thru a rough childhood!

Funny man!.. May the Schwartz be with you sir.
I've been looking for a man like Mel Brooks my whole life.
He's got a sh*t ton of life in him for someone whose 95.
Blazing saddles and robin men in tights and space balls were my favs
Dear dear Mel, please please PLEASE make it to 100!
I love him so much.
What a amazing man.
A national treasure right here
Just think: Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart all worked on Sid Caesar's show. They've influenced all of comedy for the latter half of the 20th Century, and, indeed, for the rest of time. What a legacy!
I just listened to his Audiobook version - i loved it - only regret i didnt get it day 1
Wow. I would absolutely love to meet this man. My father LOVED him we would history of the world over and over. Those are memories i cherish so so much
“I see your Schwartz is bigger than mine”
A real American treasure 👏🏽🙏🏽❤️
What of the greatest moments in comedy is when Mel Brooks was interviewed by Martin Short as Jiminy Glick.
Saw his cameo in "Only Murders in the Building" and I got really excited. My wife was just like "What, who is that?" I think my response was "He is THE man."
Is there an extended version of this interview? More Mel please :)
Blazing Saddles!
Funny
Saw that in the old East Hampton theater. Was an old Post Office. The guy in front of us would stamp his foot & roar with laughter shaking the whole place 😂
Its good to be the king!
happy birthday mel we love you so much!
Just like everyone else, I LOVE Mel Brooks! I was stunned when I found out he and Anne Bancroft were married. Who knew Mrs. Robisnson was such a nut job in real life, because she'd have to be to be married to Mel.
We love you Mel!!
Gene Wilder. What a joy.
"excuse me while i whip this out."
Mel, I was born in '71. Thanks for the laughs!
Started his audiobook he is absolutely wonderful ❤
Watch The Worlds Greatest Lover also… priceless!!! Mel is genius…
I remember when I was 9-10 and my friend was like cmon, sit down and play Spaceball.. and the first scene with that unending ship appears with combination of dramatic strings.. I died :DD. Its great he is still in a good shape!
Actor, Producer, Writer. Thanks George. For teaching us.

God bless you Mel, life Is a nightmare without you Sir.
He's not dead
He is the best
As a Christian, the part where he drops one of the tablets make me giggle everytime I see it.
I would
Love to see him do a drama. Could you imagine ?
It’s amazing that he was there when the frankenstein movies first came out on theaters.
Mel Brooks - he makes life soooooooo enjoyable !
A magnificent entertainer
Mel was so charming and funny that he charmed Ann Brancroft into marrying him
Real life Roger and Jessica Rabbit. You know she said “yes” to his proposal because he made her laugh.
I love Mel Brooks
Aw the age of comedy
. Miss comedy from Hollywood.
THE KING. He traveled down roads of war, racism, current events, history and parodied others brilliantly. In this day and age of wokeness we will never see another like him.
Mel your a genius you art will live on forever like the stooges your funny the slap schtick comedy lives on in you Sir Brooks
Great book. Read it in a week or so. Informative and highly entertaining!
