High Anxiety

So yeah, I get all of that

That's her with Kara Swisher, who looks like Doris Leachman in the Mel Brooks movie, um, High Anxiety, if you want a idea of what this particular person, Kara Swisher, uh, looks like.

But yeah, she cannot stop talking about herself.

And, and, and her not winning the presidency.

I don't know any other Mels.

Oh, he d- he did Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles and High Anxiety.

Look him up.

Look him up.

Spaceballs, yeah.

High anxiety.

When Rooks was good, he was usually great.

There are some middling ones.

And even when he was in the prime, it felt sometimes, and I'm thinking of Silent Movie in particular, we picked our gimmick before we thought it out.

And he was on such a roll, he thought they would just run with it, and everything was going to be funny.

High Anxiety, I think, is better than Silent Movie.

But where's 12 Chairs? It's above...

Mm-hmm.

High Anxiety, and Clue as Mrs.

White.

[laughs]

I hated her so much.

Her, her voice.

I just, "Flames, flames out of my face." And she was, uh, in High, High Anxiety was, um...

It was, um, Mel Brooks's answer to the Alfred Hitchcock movie Vertigo.

Also of the Carol Burnett show and Mel Brooks with Rudy DeLuca.

I mean, he's even in High Anxiety.

That's right.

So it's got a pretty good pedigree.

In Blazing Saddles.

In High Anxiety a bus went by with the, with the New York Philharmonic in it.

And they, um, my dad, it was my dad's weekend, and, and we were sleeping over.

So we went, we were going to a rare Saturday night movie, and he's like, "What do you wanna see?" And it was either that or Mel Brooks' High Anxiety.

Oh.

And so my dad was like, "Let's go see High Anxiety." And we were like, "No, let's go see Led Zeppelin.

Let's see Led Zeppelin." And my dad finally caved and said, "Okay, let's g- we- we'll go see Led Zeppelin." And so we're in the movie, I don't know, 20 minutes, and, uh, Garren, please look up what year the Song Remains the, or, uh, High Anxiety came out.

'78?

I have no idea.

Is it '78?
