I thought if this was shown in Waco, Texas, the whites would storm the screen and cut it to ribbons. Because we were kind of hoisting the black sheriff up on our shoulders and made him a hero. But Texas liked it as much as New York.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When talking about his writing partnership with Pryor, Brooks said, &#8220;I was so lucky to get him, because he&#8217;s just funny in every way. He made a profound contribution to the script. He gave me some really beautiful 126th Street, St. Nicholas Ave. [Harlem] lines.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Will there be a &#8220;Blazing Saddles&#8221; Broadway show? Possibly. &#8220;I&#8217;m still seriously thinking about [it],&#8221; he said. &#8220;I think it&#8217;ll work.&#8221; He even said he&#8217;s already written a couple of songs if the show ever comes to pass.<\/p>\n<p>Read the rest of the article at Entertainment Weekly. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/blazing-saddles.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/blazing-saddles.jpg\" alt=\"blazing-saddles\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-142235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/blazing-saddles.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/blazing-saddles-300x154.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/blazing-saddles-1024x525.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1357px) 100vw, 1357px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Blazing Saddles&#8221; is one of the best known comedies in American film history.
