Description: Actually born in 1950, the 2000-Year-Old Man was created out of the primal urge of all comedians to entertain and to test the limits of their talent. The routine always ad-libbed, Mel Brooks never knew what Carl Reiner was going to ask, and Reiner only knew that he would never get the same answer twice. From subjects as diverse and everyday as religion, taxes, fried foods, fad diets, and film violence, much of the ground covered and subjects skewered by the two comic geniuses are still timely. Now, with the turn of the century upon us, the 2000-Year-Old Man is ready to address his loyal legions of fans and convert an audience of new ones.
-- From Bill Cosby to Billy Crystal, Bob Newhart to Whoopi Goldberg, the 2000-Year-Old Man records influenced many of today's comedians and remains one of the most beloved comedy acts of the century.
-- The four albums of the 2000-Year-Old Man have sold more than 100,000 copies. The $40.00 boxed set, released by Rhino Records in 1994, has sold 20,000 copies.
