It's one of the civilized places in the world. It's our pleasure, Scott.ĬARL REINER: Yes, we love NPR. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being with us.īROOKS: Our pleasure. SIMON: The Shout Factory has issued a mixed CD and DVD set of all the albums that the men recorded and many of the TV appearances they've made - 'The 2000- Year-Old Man: The Complete History.' As maybe obvious now, Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks join us from Beverly Hills. MEL BROOKS: Wait a minute, Cuba nationalized all property?īROOKS: I have a little department store there.īROOKS: When did they - no wonder I'm not getting a check. The character that Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks concocted, first to entertain at parties - they finally recorded him in 1960, back when Elvis Presley was discharged from the Army, Cuba nationalized all property, and the Twist was a huge hit.
The 2000-year-old man is about to turn 2050.
