Brooks shares the time he tried out his material to Carl Reiner for Dean MartinsGolddiggersshow moments before broadcast.
He said I dont think thats going to work.
I think youre going to have to find something else, remembers Brooks.
I had an hour and 20 minutes theres nothing else.
I did the bit (on air) and I killed.
I had that moment where I said, Wow, I think you might know what youre doing.

Will I never see my movie there?
