00:01Now, why did you become a comedian?
00:03Sex.
00:04I see.
00:05The one and only Mel Brooks.
00:07I can't imagine making movies without having watched his movies.
00:11Blazing Saddles.
00:13Young Frankenstein.
00:15Spaceballs.
00:16I am the writer, the director, the producer, and the star.
00:19As the actor I ask for a little more money, as the director I say,
00:21what, are you crazy? You stink. I'm not gonna pay that kind of money.
00:24To a lot of people who went into comedy, they thought,
00:26that seems like the best job in the world, the Mel Brooks job.
00:29I'm glad nobody took it.
00:31No one was as good.
00:33I did a lot of interviews. Half of them were just completely fake.
00:38Do you think people know who you really are?
00:40No.
00:41Let's have a nice hand for Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks.
00:44The 2,000-year-old man.
00:46The greatest comedy routine by two of the greatest comics.
00:49What has kept you alive for 2,000 years?
00:52An enormous fear of death.
00:54This huge character would be my way to comedy fame.
00:58If you fought the Germans in World War II,
01:01you're allowed to do whatever the fuck you want.
01:03It's also the first time.
01:08I was born to make people laugh.
01:14So, I do that.
01:16Okay, turn it off already.
01:22Turn it off.
01:23You are dead man.
01:24You are dead man.
01:25Yeah man.
01:26The 2,000 years in World War II
01:28You
