For Mel Brooks’ birthday.
Superb. As Mitchell said in our conversation about Burt Reynolds, I love people who know how “to be funny on the couch”. Those who come out to promote themselves, sure, that’s fine. But someone who comes out with a story to tell? To give us a nice 5 minutes? You have my gratitude.
This story builds and builds. I love when he gets up and skips around.
Happy birthday, Mel Brooks!
Great shit right there. Does that kind of thing still happen on TV or is it all just pimping the product now? I remember Robert Blake on the show one time and he had nothing to hawk and not much to say which was funny in itself. Johnny kept asking him what he was up to, what was he working on? Blake was just puffing on a cigarette and saying ” nothing”
I know, I love the banter! Neil Patrick Harris is an excellent talk-show guest. He doesn’t come on to promote his stuff, he comes on to entertain.
Here’s an example! So entertaining!!
I’m desperately looking for this clip of Mel Brooks and the Cary Grant story, but can’t find it anymore. Hope someone can help me as I have to think of it every now and then. Such a funny story!
Thanks so much whoever can help me,
JJ
