When Hulu announced it was doing a sequel to Mel Brooks’ “History of the World Part I,” executive producer Nick Kroll got calls from countless comedians.
“I got a text from Johnny Knoxville five minutes after the announcement was made,” Kroll says. “’Anything I can do. Mel Brooks is my hero.’”“It begins with Mel,” Kroll explains. “People are excited to work with Mel Brooks in any way they can. And, then, from there, we started to put it together.”
When the call went out, Kroll and company got participation from Danny DeVito, Zazie Beetz, Quinta Brunson, Pamela Adlon, Jack Black and many others. “It’s going after the rich and powerful and trying to find humorous ways to take them down,” Kroll says. “Comedy and satire are very powerful that way.”
