Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Get out your tissues, it’s story time with Mel Brooks. During a The Tonight Show appearance last night, comedy’s brilliant Jewish grandpa shared delightful anecdotes about his dear friend and collaborator Gene Wilder, who died earlier this week at the age of 83. “I expected he would go, but, I don’t know, when it happens it’s still tremendous, it’s a big shock,” he said. “I’m still reeling from no more Gene. I can’t call him. He was such a wonderful part of my life.” No, you’re weeping.
