Rudy DeLuca

In the latest, absolutely unmissable episode of the We Think It's Funny podcast, regular co-host Danny Lobell is joined by stand-up comedian Alan Bursky, who does a fantastic job filling in for Mark Schiff. Together, they sit down with the legendary 95-year-old comedy writer and actor, Rudy DeLuca, for a wildly entertaining, fast-paced history lesson. DeLuca dives deep into his incredible career, sharing rare behind-the-scenes memories of co-writing classic Mel Brooks films like High Anxiety and Dracula: Dead and Loving It, including what it was really like working alongside the great Leslie Nielsen. The trio takes listeners back to Rudy's early childhood roots in the Bronx, mapping out exactly how he broke into the entertainment industry and eventually found himself hanging out with icons like Elvis Presley and Sammy Shore. Things get hilarious and brilliantly nostalgic when Rudy and Alan look back on their own 50-plus year friendship, reminiscing about the historic 1972 opening night of The Comedy Store and the unforgettable time Rudy actually threw a young Alan out of the venue. From the infamous Comedy Store strike and Mitzi Shore stories to irreplaceable life advice from a man who has seen it all, this episode acts as a masterclass in Hollywood history. Packed with authentic laughs and spectacular storytelling, it is a must-watch for anyone who loves the golden era of comedy.
