In addition to their recordings, Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks occasionally took their 2,000-Year-Old Man act to television (“2037--and Counting,” by Steve Schmidt, May 25). The collection in the UCLA Film and Television Archive holds two of these appearances, broadcast following two “NBC Saturday Night at the Movies” telecasts in 1961 and 1962. These hilarious 12- to 15-minute routines focus on the 2,001-Year-Old Man’s (he had just celebrated his birthday) recollections of the French Riviera and of the origins of baseball.
These programs and thousands of other classic broadcasts can be viewed at the archive’s Research and Study Center.
