## Resource

Mel Brooks turns 90 and still owns the laughs — a comedy titan who’s won Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys, and made classics like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein that still crack audiences up decades later. From his WWII service to his Catskills comedy roots and iconic album with Carl Reiner, Brooks built a career that defied genres. Though he’s been honored with Kennedy Center awards and a Walk of Fame star, he’s also candid about how some of his edgier humor might not fly today — proving his genius was ahead of its time. His legacy? Unmatched. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
