Mel Brooks’ History Of The World Part II, ft. actor Josh Fadem
Tuesday March 7, 2023 at 12:00pm PST
After a 42-year wait, the long-promised Mel Brooks sequel History Of The World Part II comes to Hulu! Originally premiering in 1981, History of the World Part I was Mel Brooks’ parody of Hollywood’s historical movie trends. History of the World Part II will include an eight-part series with bits such as “Hitler on ice,” and “Jews in space.” Join cast member Josh Fadem and AJU’s Jonathan Dobrer for an inside look at the Jewish satire throughout the series, Brooks’ influence on comedy in America, and how Fadem’s career in comedy has been inspired by his Jewish upbringing and the works of Mel Brooks himself.
