When does ‘Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!’ come out?
“Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!” will premiere on HBO and HBO Max on Thursday, Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. ET. However, HBO Max customers will get both parts of the documentary on Thursday, while linear HBO viewers will have to wait until Friday, Jan. 23, to watch Part 2.
Why do we recommend watching ‘Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!’ on HBO Max?
As noted above, customers will be able to stream both parts of this documentary on Jan. 22, a full day before customers will be able to see it all on HBO. In addition, finding a pay-TV plan with HBO included can be quite expensive these days, and it doesn’t offer you the same freedom to watch on demand as HBO Max does.
Once you’re through watching the documentary, you can start streaming classics from Brooks like “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein.” It’s a great way to spend the weekend laughing your head off!
