Mel Brooks at 100 eyes a ‘Spaceball’ blastoff

Jewish comedy legend Mel Brooks celebrated his 100th birthday on Sunday, as he prepares to release the long-awaited sequel to his 1987 movie, “Spaceballs.”

“Spaceballs: The New One” is due out on April 23, reprising his fan-favorite roles as Yogurt and President Skroob.

Producer Josh Gad hailed Brooks as a once-in-a-generation talent who “continues to surprise and thrill us.” The EGOT winner, whose classics include “The Producers,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Blazing Saddles,” marked the milestone with birthday wishes pouring in from Ben Stiller, NASA and Jewish groups.

Brooks was married to Anne Bancroft until her death in 2005.
