Friday evening, HBO presents the perfect tonic for a lousy week: Mel Brooks and Dick Cavett: Together Again!
Mel Brooks, purveyor of fine comedy [Blazing Saddles, The Producers], and one of the best talk show hosts ever, Dick Cavett, get together for this one-hour special to share show-business memories and hilarious stories with loyal fans and a new generation of viewers.
As a fan of both, this works for me. Follow the jump for three brief, but very funny excepts.
