Who is Mel Brooks?

Results will go up on the main page late afternoon, with full stats early evening. They will be seen in the comments section at the bottom of the main page.

I bet Mel Brooks will be absolutely tickled to be the subject of this Final Jeopardy! as he’s been a huge fan of the show for a very long time. The 2000th episode of the original NBC network run of Jeopardy! had Mel Brooks appear, in character, as the 2000 Year Old Man! I can’t find it on YouTube today, but footage definitely exists.

Instead, here’s footage of a 2014 category:

The three films from AFI’s list? Blazing Saddles (#6), The Producers (#11), and Young Frankenstein (#13).

Here’s the full “100 Years 100 Laughs” list.
