Mel Brooks briefly reviews his life in this 1 hour production. With a totally uninspiring moderator, Brooks talks about his early life in Brooklyn and his being influenced by his mother. There are some funny lines, but that's about it. No mention was made of his father or of his wife, the late Anne Bancroft except for the very end when both husband and wife sang Sweet Georgia Brown in Polish in 1983's remake of "To Be or Not to Be."
Naturally, there are clips from the Show of Shows and the 2000 year old man. While Brooks praises Gene Wilder, his actor in "Blazing Saddles," and "The Producers," we don't see that regarding Carl Reiner, Howie Morris, Sid Caesar or Imogene Coca.
