Both seasons, when CNN first rolled out its History of Comedy series as a weekly weekend showcase, breaking news intervened, and caused certain episodes of the documentary series to be pre-empted by live news coverage. So tonight, when CNN takes some of the best episodes and schedules them in a five-hour Saturday night block, it’s worth noting. Especially when Saturday Night Live isn’t live this week.

Brooks and Wilder pull iconic bits of inspiration from not only the original Frankenstein film, but its sequels, to mount and nail its most iconic set pieces. Wilder is sheer comic genius. Then again, so are Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr – and, of course, Brooks himse
