Mel Brooks misses being able to call Gene Wilder
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBeloved American Jewish comedian Mel Brooks says he misses being able to call his friend and long-time collaborator Gene Wilder, who died Monday at the age of 83.
“I expected it, I expected he would go,” Brooks tells Jimmy Fallon in an appearance last night on “The Tonight Show.”
“But I don’t know, when it happens, it’s still tremendous, it’s a big shock,” he says.
“I’m still reeling from that. No more Gene, I can’t call him, and he was such a wonderful part of my life.”
