Mel Brooks Celebrates 100th Birthday

Mel Brooks turns 100 and still hasn’t lost his comedic edge—born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn in 1926, he teamed with Carl Reiner to create legendary sketches and went on to define comedy with classics like The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein. Now, he’s sending a video message for Eddie Murphy’s award and donating his archives to the National Comedy Center, proud that his laughter will live on. Even as he faces mortality, Brooks keeps laughing—and living—for as long as he can. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
