How’s this for making history? Now that Ike Barinholtz, Nick Kroll and Wanda Sykes have successfully overseen the four-decades-in-the-making sequel, History of the World, Part II — a revival of Mel Brooks’s 1981 sketch comedy film — the trio is ready to reveal exclusively to Yahoo Entertainment that they’re reviving another vintage Brooks-ian comedy: 1974’s Blazing Saddles.
“It’s done, sold and shot,” teases Barinholtz of their take on one of the most controversial comedies ever made. “It comes out on Hulu on April 14!”
