Comedy legend Mel Brooks introduced a special screening of “Dolemite is My Name” this weekend - it may have been the highlight of our lives. Mel has been our hero since we were 10 - nobody we admire more. Writer/Director/Producer/Genius. Here’s an excerpt

One of my favorite Fred Willard moments was when he was asked on a talk show what he was up to - he replied “I’m working on a novel”. The host congratulated him and Fred replied: “Those things are so hard to read”

R.I.P. Buck Henry - our most fearless screenwriter. Buck was also a big personality & a performer... he gave screenwriting a face. Growing up I could turn on Saturday Night LIve (which Buck hosted 10 times) and point to the funniest, smartest guy and say - that's a screenwriter.

I notice the truck ahead of me has this plate. I pull up next to him & say “I love your plate. Why did you get it?” He smiles: “My Name is Ed and I do hardwood floors!” Oh. “I wrote a movie called Ed Wood.” Blank stare. Never heard of it. Red light turns green. I drive away.
