Orlando, Clearwater, and Atlanta, come say hello before the show!
I’ve got upcoming Meet & Greets later this month in those cities, which means you can stop by, take a photo, bring along something special for me to sign (no bootlegs, please!), and we’ll have a perfectly normal conversation while I try not to blink during the picture.

Mel Brooks on the only condition George Lucas imposed on Brooks before allowing him to make the satire on "Star Wars" (1977): "Spaceballs" (1987):
"The same way I called Alfred Hitchcock to get his blessings on 'High Anxiety' (1977), I sent the 'Spaceballs' script to 'Star Wars' (1977) creator George Lucas. If not to get his blessing, then certainly to give him a heads-up on what I was doing vis-à-vis Star Wars. He was kind enough to read it and respond.
He said he had seen 'Blazing Saddles' (1974) and 'Young Frankenstein' (1974) and was a big fan. He enjoyed the script, and only had one real caveat for me: no action figures. He explained that if I made toys of my Spaceballs characters they would look a lot like Star Wars action figures. And that would be a no-no for his lawyers and his studio’s business affairs department. So he gave his blessing to make my funny satiric takeoff of Star Wars as long as I promised that we would not sell any action figures.
I said, “You’re absolutely right.” And that was one of the rules we didn’t break.
So even though in the movie itself we have Dark Helmet playing with action figures… we never sold any.
The exchange with George Lucas also triggered a beloved comedy scene in which a character that I played, Yogurt, a takeoff on Yoda, responds to Lone Starr’s question of “What is this place? What is it that you do here?” with a whole exposé of the movie business.
So even though we didn’t actually do any commercial merchandising, we still had a lot of fun with the scene. And over the years Spaceballs movie fans have sent me more than one mockup of “Spaceballs: The Breakfast Cereal.”"

This is the very last photo taken of me, with my beloved dog. But in my heyday I said much without sound, had beautiful women in my films, and had no fear of highs or lows, and always was full of optimism. Remember me?
Turn up the radio. Turn up the tape machine. Look into the sunset up ahead. Roll the windows down for a better taste of the cool desert wind. Ah yes. This is what it’s all about. Total control now. Tooling along the main drag on a Saturday night in Las Vegas, two good old boys in a fireapple-red convertible … stoned, ripped, twisted … Good People.
These two giant tortoises have been fighting each other for over 120 years. According to the zoo, one tortoise stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and from that day on they became enemies. There hasn’t been a single day where they haven’t fought for a while
