Birthday Wishes to Albert Brooks

Ever since I first saw Lost In America, I've been a big fan of the work of comedian and filmmaker Albert Brooks. With an amazing portfolio of work that includes the brilliant Defending Your Life, voice work in Finding Nemo, as well as appearances in Broadcast News, Taxi Driver, many SNL and Simpsons appearances, Brooks has always been one of my favorites.

So best wishes to him as he celebrates his 61st today. Since I can't really give him a gift, I'll give you all one from him - a classic clip from a Tonight Show appearance with Johnny Carson.

Enjoy!!

I used to love his shorts on Saturday Night Live during those early seasons. Brooks is hilarious and I used to have a crush on him. I think I still do!
