Comedy, Brooks writes, was his weapon. He had this tricky little mind and he’d surprise you, which is the trick of being a good comedy writer. Soon after Brooks and Reiner released The 2000 Year Old Man album, Brooks divorced his first wife, with whom he had three children. People know how good Brooks is, but not how great. It’s always, ‘You’re good – but you’re not me!’” But that’s not how it was with you, Reiner and Bancroft, I say.
