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.

You can see the respect in Bill's expressions for fellow comedians who have this must dedication for their craft.
Cool interview! These two will be best buds like Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks well into their golden years.
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.)
Been watching All in the Family and the relevancy from 1970 to now has not changed.
OMG! This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen on Bill's show!!!
One of the very best duo interviews - EVER!! Good on you Bill👍
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.
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 🎉
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.
Hmm, I was under the impression that Rob Reiner always had a burger in his hands

@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.
As a kid I never would have known that Meathead would have been the brains behind All in the Family?
This whole episode was one of my favourites. From beginning to end, on point.
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.
