Synopsis

Actually born in 1950, the 2000 Year Old Man was created out of the primal urge of all comedians to entertain and to test the limits of their talent. Mel Brooks never knew what Carl Reiner was going to ask, and Reiner only knew that he would never get the same answer twice. From subjects as diverse and everyday as religion, taxes, fried food, fad diets and film violence, much of the ground covered and subjects skewered century by the two comics are still timely. Now with the turn of the century upon us, the 2000 Year Old Man is ready to address his loyal legions and convert an audience of new ones. In this text, he attempts to do.

About this title

Review:

"A fantastic collection of one of the greatest bits in 2000 years of comedy history."-- Jerry Seinfeld"After you read this, you will laugh for at least 2000 years."-- Johnny Carson"It was very hard to read" The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000" because the sound of my laughter kept annoying me. I tried reading it aloud to drown out my laughter, but I only laughed louder. The only way to read it is with earmuffs on. I'm sorry I finished the book because now I'm deaf."-- Neil Simon"To say that Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks are brilliant and geniuses s to vastly downplay their enormous talents. After just having read" The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000" I consider myself the luckiest son on the face of the earth. For having Carl Reiner as a father, for having Mel Brooks as his best friend, and for not having Lou Gehrig's disease."-- Rob Reiner"By the authority invested in me by the vest I happen to be wearing at the moment, I do solemnly swear--and curse and rant and rave--that" The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000" is absolutely the funniest book I have ever read in years. I laughed aloud--perhaps too loud--on every page."-- Steve Allen"As far as I'm concerned it would be terrific if every hotel and motel made it mandatory to put a copy of this book, along with the Bible, in every room. If people can't sleep, like me, due to nightmares about fear of commitment, healthy meals, or failing at sex again, they can laugh their way through those dark hours before dawn."-- Richard Lewis"This book is really funny....The 2000 year old man will live forever."-- Alan Alda
