   “So I waited by the drapes …..”

   Hahahahahahaha. I’d never seen this before. It’s hysterical.

   Oh, and if I counted correctly — because I DID count, like a dork — Mel Brooks says “Cary Grant” 29 times in less than 5 minutes. The more he said “Cary Grant,” the funnier it got to me.

   I love the waited by the drapes line!!

   Yes, he could never say “Cary” or “Mr. Grant”. It had to be CARY GRANT.

   I love it when he gets up and starts skipping!

   I love how much Johnny Carson appears to be enjoying himself. If Mel Brooks is on, you just have to sit back and let him do all the work. I love that.

   Judging by today’s late night talk shows …. the era of great story tellers is long gone. Mel Brooks and Orson Welles exemplify what made talk shows entertaining.

   I know – people who come on shows not to pitch something, but to tell stories. They make it look effortless.

   I know. The skipping, the holding hands with Cary Grant thing. So hilarious. And then he’s all “Now for the punchline” when we’ve been laughing the entire time. It’s genius.

   “He had a hard-boiled egg.” LONG pause. “I don’t know why ….”

    This story gets funnier as it runs in the back of my mind:
    When you finally meet your heros, will you always be disappointed?
    Did all his co-workers at Swartz have the same experience with Cary Grant?
    Was it the hard boiled egg every day that gets to Mel?
