2000 Year Old Man, The
Synopsis:
Before The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, back in 1960, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner rewrote history - as a comedy! Perfecting their shtick at Hollywood parties, the friends recorded a best selling album featuring an interview with a 2000 Year Old Man who has known everyone from Jesus to Freud to Bernie the Caveman (discoverer of ladies). Four award-winning albums later and the Old Man was a legend in the USA.
Notes:
adapted from the classic comedy routine by Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner
