Buck Henry said that when he and Mel Brooks were working on _Get Smart_ together, they’d both arrive at the studio at the same time. Buck would go to the office and get started, and Mel would walk in a couple of hours later. Mel had to do a couple hours of stand-up with other people at the studio before he could get down to being funny on paper. ---
