Is it good to be the King? - Mel Brooks and Bacon

[Light-of-Truth]

I stumbled on this great blog post looking to see if Mel Brooks knew of Bacon. This post does not answer that question, but it a wonderful article about his "Of Empire".

It says "Member-only", but I am not sure as I seem to get to it without being logged into anything.

Growing up in the 60s and 70s, our family laughed with the Bugs Bunny and Road Runner Hour and any of Mel Brooks works.

The Greatest Writers’ Rooms in History

My first memory of laughing until I cried was sitting on Saturday nights watching Sid Caesar cavort on “Caesar’s Hour,” the sequel to “Your Show of Shows.” Mr. Brooks wrote for both, as part of the most famous writers’ rooms in TV history.

(The new “History of the World” depicts Shakespeare’s writers’ room, with Francis Bacon toiling away. Someone pitches “Othello,” an interracial love story about a white woman and a Black man that’s not about race, and Shakespeare replies: “I am an ally but I don’t think it’s my story to tell.”)
