Mel Brooks on NBC Nightly News

Good for him, not wanting to bring up his late wife. Most interviewers bring up deceased parents or spouses to pull emotion out of the person they are interviewing.... Glad he had the courage to say "We're not going to talk about that."

Glad Mel had was able to tell him 'no' about his wife. When that subject's always brought up you can tell nobody wants to talk about it, so just don't

that man really knew how to push Mel Brooks buttons

[katiesavant]

OMG hes still alive!! haha. Darn! just missed the musical.. by like 2 months.

[TsWade2]

2:25 to 3:02 he sounds very angry from the critics since Young Frankenstein musical recieve mixed reviews. I don't blame him.

[magichanzz]

i wonder why wilder didn't participate - since wilder wrote young frankenstein.

[tracet123]

[cbgbs93]

mel brooks is the god of comedy and now he's the god of theatre

[suziescott2007]

the tickets are way supper expensive, but it is a very expensive show to put on. Way to go Mel Brooks, keep your personal life...personal!

[seanhayesbaby]

yea i totally understand where hes coming from not wanting to talk about the passing of hiw wife. yea the seats are crazy expensive but its mel brooks hes the best so u expect to pay alot for a great show! i cant wait to go see it.

[bialystockandbloom]

I understand not wanting to talk about Anne Bancroft... but the expensive premium seat issue is something he SHOULD address. He's lucky I find him funny and he casts my favorite actors all the time... otherwise I would definitely not pay crazy amounts to see his stuff. =)

[waynescooby]

i agree. I see you are a Brooks fan. You have good taste.

[BlinkerBoyEd]

I agree. I see you are a gangster. I'm pretty gangster myself.
