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!

My thoughts exactly! Not to mention keeping up with those rhythms! What a gig.

MATTHEW AND NATHAN FOREVERRRRRRRRRR

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Mel is absolutely The Greatest and Nathan and Matthew are the appropriate opening act for Mel's appearance.

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! 🥰🤗

9:00 I was not ready for that 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bravo! Bring them back to Broadway!!!

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.

Timon & Simba. Both give a presentation about Mel Brooks.

Well deserved for Mel! Such a comedic genius! Also, Simba and Timon together again!

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.

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.

Matthew gave off "Awkward Karaoke" vibes during the song

I'm impressed by the ASL interpreter keeping up with the song

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.

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!

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.

Nathan's rendition of I'm Tired is a great tribute to Madeline Kahn. Everything below the waist is kaput!

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 💕

Makes me so happy to see Nathan and Matthew together again 🥰

Thank You Mel Brooks

Well arranged. Good performance. Wow, Lane is a Broadway Classic. And Mel Brooks, well, he's older than comedy. Because he created it.

The Greatest One who has given so much joy and laughs to the whole world. We love you Mel Brooks !!!!!!!!!

How refreshing! Kind, funny, and no obscenities.

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.

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.

The most adorable smile after saying, “pornography”

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 KZread

I can still hear Simba and Timon every time they talk

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 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.

Beautiful tribute

Both were awesome 👍♥️🙏✝️✌️😎

Mel Brooks is almost entirely responsible for my “inappropriate” sense of humor and societal ineptitude. Thank you, Mel Brooks.

Mel Brooks is timeless!

Is it nice to see Simba and Timon to do honor for comedian legendary Mel Brooks.

This is another video of him coming up on stage and accepting the award.

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.

Thanks for sharing! ♥

Wonderful loving tribute.

Great broadway talents w these 2

Glad to see there was an ASL interpreter in the room. However, when broadcasting it elsewhere (like KZread), 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.

Mel Brooks was overdue for this award. Congratulations!

Love how Matthew didn’t know the lyrics for one of the parts
