Live Poll: Happy 100th Birthday, Mel Brooks - A Century of Laughter and Genius!

Intro:

Today, June 28, 2026, the legendary Mel Brooks celebrates his 100th birthday - a true Supercentennial! Brooks first appeared mainly as an actor, often in small supporting or cameo roles, before emerging as one of the most influential comedy writers and directors in Hollywood. For more than seven decades, he has shaped comedy with his unmatched wit, fearless satire, and timeless classics such as The Producers (1967), Blazing Saddles (1974), Young Frankenstein (1974), and Spaceballs (1987). His creative genius has left a lasting mark on Hollywood and inspired generations of filmmakers and audiences alike. For which decade of his lifetime-achievement do you admire him the most? Please discuss here. Please note: In some titles he is uncredited or had a dubbing role or was a narrator.

@Breumaster, I'm looking forward to Mel Brooks celebrating his 100th birthday. Somehow, Mel Brooks may actually celebrate his 2000th birthday some day. 😊 The "2000-Year-Old Man," was a legendary, largely improvised act performed by Mel Brooks and his lifelong friend and collaborator, Carl Reiner. Here are the key details about the famous sketch: The Performers: Mel Brooks played the "2000-Year-Old Man," an ancient, Jewish-accented man who had witnessed all of human history and gave hilariously anachronistic and absurd answers. Carl Reiner was the straight man/interviewer, prompting Brooks with questions about history, love, and life.

Nice poll.  I am a big Mel Brooks fan and fell in love with him when he had his marvelous decade of the 70's.  I bought the book The 2000 Year Old Man when it came out and each of my kids (and eventually grandkids) have enjoyed my copy.  I have work out a few videotapes, cds, and dvds of Blazing Saddles.  The man is a comedic genius.
