I saw him on Comedians in cars getting coffee once, and that was like a bunch of years ago and he looked really good for his age even then. Same attitude and energy as he's always had
I would recommend to anyone that is a fan to listen to his memoir *All About Me!* narrated by himself.
It's a fascinating insight to the man in his own words.
I remember him describing "living in the dash". When you die they will put up a marker somewhere with your name and something like 1952-2052. The numbers aren't really important. That dash is your entire life.
I just finished watching the Netflix biography of Gene Wilder and did not realize how intertwined their careers were.
By the way, you do realize that the only living legends left who served in the Army [Special Services](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Services_%28entertainment%29?wprov=sfla1) during World War II are Mel Brooks, Clint eastwood, and Dick Van Dyke?
Edit: grammar
He's fast approaching becoming the REAL 2,000 year old man.
Note for the youngsters: Mel used to do a routine on records, vinyl, playing a 2,000 year old man that had a decidedly Jewish influence/background.
They don’t make them like him anymore and never will again. Political correctness has made sure of that.
A true legend of our time. Many more years still we hope.
May the Schwartz be with you!

And also with you.
Glad to see there's still some Christians up in here.
More like rebels instead of Christians
Shvatz!!! Be With You!!!….
I hope he's doing well, and is still able to do the things he wants to do.

It's a real shame he lost his best friend Carl Reiner a couple of years ago. Such is life I suppose.
And his wife, Anne Bancroft back in 2005
He's still doing stuff! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000316/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_Mel%2520Brook

Comment deleted by me - I forgot I was helping Steve Huffman make money and I don't get anything out of this but grief because you are all idiots.
The best standup philosopher in the history of the world!
“So you’re a bullshit artist. Did you bullshit last week? (No.) Did you try to bullshit last week? (Yes.)”
It's time for my wine break.

If attractiveness was based on talent, he would be the sexist man alive. I'd give it a go.
I'm looking forward to Spaceballs 2. The search for more money!
May the shwattz be with you.
Man with 1000 faces
And to think, he once went with Joan of Arc!!!
