There is a really great interview with him on Marc Maron if you want to go check it out

“Frankensteins friend Murray”. I laughed out loud at that line.

Mel a genius. Blazing Saddles was a significant breakthrough on multiple levels.

Mr. Brooks grew up in my old Neighborhood of Brooklyn Brownville/East NY Thank you 🙏for all of your hilarious movies and so far still with us today. He was born on the same year as my father 1926.... 💪👏

Absolute legend, Mel Brooks! "Young Frankenstein" is my favourite of his movies, too. That whole "Puttin' on the Ritz" bit damn near kills me every time I watch it.

I would have loved to have seen that clip of Gene Wilder. Damn. Thanks everyone!

Mel Brooks is the MASTER of comedic parodies . Seen Blazzing Saddles in the drive in .

this guy is a riot i love his movies .

Mel is a legend that spans generations. Blazing Saddles is THE funniest movie to ever have been made and when you follow the story, the line by Gene Wilder, you know...Morons, Sums it all up. In the end it shows that if you have a good heart, it doesn't matter what color your skin is. Except the Irish....Ah schitt, even the Irish. He has made some of the most memorable one liners in his movies. He shot my HAIR!

It really is no exaggeration when you say Mel Brooks is the funniest human being that probably will ever exist.

I was never a fan of his particular creations, but I could listen to his story telling all day.

I am not sure I saw this when it was first aired. It was repeated on ME tv or Antenna TV recently. He is a genius

"His latest film, 'Young Frankenstein'." That says a lot about how fast time actually passes. I'm happy that Mel Brooks is alive. His comedy is legitimately unrivaled. I got the chance to watch "Blazing Saddles", and it was quite good. Thank goodness for Mel Brooks! :) I wish people still had the humor like they had back then.

Carson: "What's the hardest part of making the film?" Mel: "The HOLES!"

I worship Mel. Please let him live another 20 years. A treasure
