The Big Picture Few comedic legends have stood the test of time with the same amount of success as Mel Brooks. The multi-faceted legend has a slew of hits under his belt such as Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles and History of the World, Part I, which he recently released a sequel to on Hulu with 2023's History of the World: Part 2. Brooks wrote the Hulu Original series alongside Wanda Sykes, Nick Kroll and Ike Barinholtz.

Breaking the Fourth Wall Goes Back to Mel Brooks' Teenage Years Mel Brooks' fabled comedy career began more than 70 years ago, in 1950, when he joined Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows as a writer. But it was in the 1960s and later the '70s that he rose to prominence.

Just like that, Brooks had discovered his niche. Unfortunately, fate would intervene, and it would be some time before he could pursue his desire professionally. The U.S. Department of Defense states that Brooks was drafted into the army three years later, in 1944, and served for 2 years when he was honorably discharged in 1946. With his fortune back on track, Brooks finally broke into Hollywood as a writer for Sid Caesar in 1949.

That may be in your bones, to know, O.K., it's time to shatter the illusion of make-believe and bring it into the real world — because it's going to get a big laugh, and a big laugh is worth a lot.
