Mel Brooks tells David Bianculli about the late Madeline Kahn:

I’m in tears thinking about Madeline. And what an incredibly gifted gift from god, Madeline Kahn. The funniest and most talented comedienne I think, including people like Carol Burnett who are great, you know, and Gilda Radner who was magnificent, but nobody — listen to me, David Bianculli — nobody could approach the magnificence and wonder of Madeline Kahn. She was really a great gift to us all. … I saw art [in her], not just funny. But I saw a person who was gifted with art. She’s the only one who actually could have worked in opera as an opera singer, as a coloratura. She was that talented or I think she could have worked as a longshoreman in New Jersey. I don’t think there’s anything that Madeline Kahn couldn’t do.”

WISHBONE WAS SO LEGIT.

you know it

I learned so much from this motherfucking dog

there are so many books I’ve never read but know the plot to thanks to this dog.

wishbone is literally how i have any knowledge of the ‘classics’

and he’s my hero

This makes me want to dress my doggie up in many outfits, but I’m a good mommy, so I won’t.

I will never stop loving Wishbone.
