It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

“Oh, I feel like we’ve been asked to remake this movie a lot. We have. This has come around several times. Every three years we get a request to remake It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. I don’t know… Have you watched this movie? No, and I never will. You never will. No, and I never will. It actually has amazing physical comedy in it. I’m taking it.”

“It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. One of the funniest films I've ever seen. It's, it's got, it's got everybody in it: Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Ethel Merman, Mickey Rooney, Dick Shawn, Phil Silvers, Terry-Thomas, Jonathan Winters. It just goes on and on. But then it's also got Spencer Tracy. I mean, and it's hilarious. Stanley Kramer. Oh my God, gosh, it's just so freaking funny. Give yourself a treat.”

“And now I’m going to get a little silly. I grew up in the Tri-State area, PIX Channel 11. It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, always on television when I was a child, always loved it... You got Ethel Merman, you got everybody. You got the Three Stooges... It’s Sid Caesar, it’s Mickey Rooney, it’s Spencer Tracy, it’s Jonathan Winters. It’s everybody that– Young people don’t know who they are. But it’s insanity in film form.”
