Which famous comedian co-wrote the film screenplay for "Blazing Saddles"?
Correct answer: Richard Pryor
Player Meyer
The film is hilarious and the other writer is Mel Brooks.
Player Ejag
saw Richard when he first started and followed his career until the tragic end. Even sent him a get well card after he set himself on fire! (accidently, btw.)

one of the funniest movies of all time. I've watched it about 100 times.

Player Meyer, There are a LOT of people who don't know Richard co wrote Bazin Saddles. I, an one of them. wow. ALWAYS attributed all to Mel Brooks.

Player Meyer, It was during the shooting of Blazing Saddles that Brooks learned of a movie idea from one of his co-stars, Gene Wilder. It was a comedic "horror" movie titled "Young Frankenstein."
During filming, there was a scene in which the monster (Peter Boyle) dances with Wilder on stage. Brooks didn't like it and wanted to cut the scene. Wilder lobbied hard to convince Brooks, to the point of anger. Brooks relented and the rest is history.

Richard Pryor was a genius, but Cleavon Little was perfect for the part of Bart.

My favorite comedian. Mr. Pryor picked on everyone equally.

Men, you are about to embark on a great crusade to stamp out runaway decency in the west. Now you men will only be risking your lives, whilst I will be risking an almost certain Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. 🤣
