Jeremy Kinser, writing on the Facebook group TCM Fanatics! (A Celebration Of Hollywood’s Golden Age) recalled ‘a terrific and typically wide-ranging interview with the great Mel Brooks’.
Asked to single out the best joke he ever wrote, Brooks says; ‘My favourite line is more emotional. It’s the scene at the end of Blazing Saddles when Gene Wilder asks Cleavon Little where he’s headed next. And Cleavon says, Nowhere special. And Gene says: Nowhere special. That’s somewhere I’ve always wanted to go.’
