Mel Brooks Turns 100 and Still Making Us Laugh
Description
Mel Brooks turns 100 and still hasn’t lost his comedic edge—celebrating with a new documentary, a video tribute to Eddie Murphy, and a massive donation to the National Comedy Center. From Brooklyn to blockbuster hits like “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein,” Brooks’ legacy of laughter endures, even as AFI crowns his 1974 masterpiece the funniest movie ever made. With lifelong pals like Carl Reiner and a wink at mortality via coin-operated gravestones, Brooks proves age is just a number—and he’s got plenty more jokes left to tell.
