Dick Cavett interviewed Mel Brooks this past Tuesday, December 7th at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, in an event sponsored by WritersBloc. (We recently interviewed Cavett, who is currently promoting his new book, TALK SHOW: CONVERSATIONS, COMMENTARY, & OFF-SCREEN SECRETS.)
The evening was a memorable one, to put it mildly. Brooks, 84-years old, essentially did over 2 hours of routines and held the audience in the palm of his hand, with the energy of a man half his age and the comedic chops of few men living, no matter what their years. Cavett did a book signing afterwards, which a few hundred audience members lined up for, patiently waiting well into the night. Giants, both.
