Mel Brooks Danish TV 1978

With Anne Bancroft

[@jjphoenix4055]

Thanks so much for uploading this, it was sensational! They are one of the most brilliant and adorable couples in the world of entertainment. Love them both to death!

[@jasonday9286]

Anne Bancroft has always seemed so aloof, but this is a wonderful interview. She is so open and...silly! The dance at the end is lovely. What a couple.

[@rebeccassweetmusic4632]

She was a very private person and rarely did interviews. Even when she did interviews, they were always about the movie she was promoting or about her being married to Mel. She wouldn't be so open about her personal life until their son Max left for college, I think? At least that's what I read in her biography

[@Sojourning_]

I'm 72 and a half, it's only been in recent time that have a much more appreciation for Mel Brooks / and his lovely late wife Ann Bancroft , there smile is wonderful, they light up the place. I pray blessing on his late wife Ann and for Mel. The LORD be with you both, in the here and now and in the Kingdom to come.. amen

[@paulinegail20]

Wow. Great interview! Loooove Mr. Brooks! And love that one bit when he kissed Anne Bancroft on her chin! Also, she wasn't wearing any make up, and still very gorgeous!! They're so cute.

[@ericburns9132]

Mel and Anne were so in love with each other especially in this interview

[@illygah]

this is solid gold. what a charming man mel brooks is

[@aut1976]

A fantastic man to interview. Never boring.

[@miralvonhawaii]

OMG, Anne and Mel are so cute together!

[@5610winston]

Of course they were. They brought out the best in each other, and they were each the love of the other's life.

[@vova47]

Mel!!!.......One of funniest people on this planet!! Just look at Anne Bancroft - he cracks her up all the time, and she knows him forever. That's the secret to a great marriage!

[@vegeta6345]

This is as if a man from 2050 went back in time to do the interview! That energy!

[@bennyjazzful]

GOD---Mel is so brilliant & his wife is gorgeous. Amazing interview of one of the best actor / comedian / writers of all time. From a mad keen 75yo Aussie fan.

[@zachariahblackfyre8033]

The dancing in the dark being sung too high almost killed me

[@bennyjazzful]

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111 From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan. What a genius of comedy & isn't Anne so lovely.

[@vincentanguoni8938]

He is a genius..he tries to talk to his current audience... somewhat!!!

[@kaythomas5884]

Han er fantastisk! Jeg var i Danmark dengang. I Slagelse. Kay 🤗

[@mogomarkas3187]

I had no idea that Danish tv was so hilarious, but seriously folks . . . I knew Mel was funny , who knew he could make such a good Hamlet, I mean omelette.

[@flemingcourt]

They were the cutest couple!

[@terry4137]

Anne was a very sexy looking woman. Not just the “movie” were she played a cougar (although she was) but she was always a sexy woman to me. Mel still alive at 96! Wow!

[@NuttyIsa]

Mel and Anne, such a cute couple, I love them!

[@peterhunt5890]

We totally love love love Mel and Anne just BRILLIANT. Thank you

[@Emma_Kiwi]

Wow, they were the SWEETEST couple !!!

[@Indastreets4life]

Anne Bancroft is beautiful.

[@vincentanguoni8938]

I knew people who worked with Brooks..they described him many ways ..never negative....

[@jerryrichardson2799]

This was surprisingly good. Thanks for posting this.

[@vincentanguoni8938]

17 January 2023.... Funniest guy of my lifetime....Along with Cid Caesar and Gleason and the one and only Groucho!!! Then there is Peter Sellers and the Monty Python crew!!! Rambling!!!!!

[@svenjonsson4275]

Mel Brooks is SO funny. EVEN on intervjues

[@AuntieClimaxx]

21:58 This is the inception of the end of The Big Lebowski! Down to the dust in the wind!

[@lackmuskeps2330]

The story in the middle must have inspired the Coen brothers when writing about Donny's ashes in The Big Lebowski

[@Stroheim333]

John Cleese in Swedish TV, in the early 80's: "The Danish language is regarded as a throat disease in Europe."

[@vincentanguoni8938]

German is the same...English not quite as bad!!! But they work better than the romance languages

[@Quidditashopeful]

There are individuals in this world and they’re are ones who care about others - Mel didn’t and whom ever he or she was who was interviewing seemed to not know at all . They cared for an early conglomerate, that makes no sense to us . Mel was an individual who’s truth no one could touch.

[@effiebanks5642]

After watching this, I bet he's not like this in everyday real life. You couldn't live with the constant craziness. He's funny, but too frenetic to take on a regular basis. In my imagination, they're living a much more calm, low key life everyday. It's only when he's performing, he's crazy and all over the place, and needs to be the center of attention.

[@sizzlinglizzi1345]

according to Anne Bancroft he actually was like that all the time, even the family dog thought he was funny ...i think he needs to cut back on the coffee though , he is a little ''wired'' .

[@rumigirl]

I just learned, from a different video, that Mel Brooks' father died when his older brother was barely 16. So he got dealt a heavy blow early on... Maybe that's where the frenetic-ness comes from.... (Oh yeah, and then there's the war thing. Those are two brutal things...)

[@gordygibson8776]

Separate the public persona from the private person. Watched Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft on a number of TV shows and interviews and they always enjoyed themselves together . Sad that Anne Bancroft died of uterine cancer in 2005 after over 40 years of marriage .Mel's still living at the ripe old age of 95

[@meagain9987]

36:32 you know the host is horrible when he says "I´m talking" to stop the guests from talking.

[@desertflwrs]

Me Again I know that was so awkward

[@DodgerFanAD_23]

I know right ?

[@andrewcowin3815]

How did you find this? Hilarious!

[@annstrom8329]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@LegrochaTV]

40:10 lmao he made an omelette 😂😂wtf

[@007beck9]

Eleanor Born from A Little Princess , Abfab and Wimbledon would play brilliant Anne Bancroft.

[@catlucky9815]

Why didn't they give Anne a mic ?

[@hajile2468]

Mel looks like Putin in the thumbnail.

[@RELubber]

How the heck did Mel get her?

[@vincentanguoni8938]

The interviewer is interested in information..technical stuff .very German.. Danish..lo mismo

[@lisesruneland]

guld interviewer

[@seymourbutts9085]

I wonder if Mel Brooks a and Garth Brooks are related.

[@gordygibson8776]

No connection whatsoever.

[@janemoselfrau1176]

lebt anne bancroft noch ? wie alt ist sie ???

[@civichoo6017]

She died in 2005.

[@MyMyJourney]

She was 47 during this interview

[@gordygibson8776]

Anne Bancroft died in 2005 of uterine cancer after over 40 years of a very happy marriage to Mel. Mel is still going strong at 95.

[@vincentanguoni8938]

With trepidation I have to say that most of his humor was lost on Danish tv. He humiliates the interviewer when the guy doesn't know the correct date of film release!!! Poor preparation!!!

[@vincentanguoni8938]

How could an average Danish person understand his humor..?? This interviewer is trying to compete in some strange way. Never laughs!

[@animaniacs7038]

I was actually surprised how much they understood and got - especially since it was all english. Although his films had been already famous at the time in France or Germany for example, it still wouldn't have been possible to do this interview in these countries.

[@tradebasedonnaturalresourc8777]

so funny

[@vincentanguoni8938]

This guy is insulting Mel Brooks .pouring tea during an interview!!!?? Seriously? ....Brooks calls him on it!!! Way over the head of the interviewer... And most of the audience ... understanding of a second language is limited!!!!

[@sarataylor6164]

35:58

[@manthony777]

👎 👎

[@jpkatz1435]

Mell is in the Marx Brothers spirit of chaos.

[@vincentanguoni8938]

He is soooo anti semetic!!!!!

[@loupasternak]

didnt he say free palisades ?

[@onkelmarvin8360]

Det er helt fantastisk, hvordan Mel Brooks simpelthen bare overtager hele showet, og Henrik Iversen kan ikke gøre en skid.

[@annstrom8329]
