The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000 Author:Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks July 23, 1997 — Since 1973 the single most oft-asked question posed to Misters Reiner and Brooks by strangers in the street is "When the heck are you guys going to get the 2000 Year Old Man to do another album?

At their own expense they flew to Miami Beach and coaxed the 2000 Year Old Man to leave his comfortable, one-room condo with an ocean view and accompany them to L.A. to sit in a recording studio with no view and answer a few questions.
