RIP, Alex Karras: NFL great, Webster's daddy - and of course, Mongo from 'Blazing Saddles'.

He will be missed...

It was a Mel Brooks movie, of course, but that doesn't mean Brooks wrote that line. Buck Henry did a lot of the scriptwriting for his movies, but I don't know.

Richard Pryor?

That's it! I saw an interview with Mel Brooks, he said he hired Pryor to write lines for the sheriff's role. None of them were any good so Brooks wrote those and Pryor wrote all of Mongo's stuff.

Richard Pryor was the G.O.A.T.

And won't be after the gambling issue. His play was deserving though.
