Her grandmother's film character was the original MILF/Cougar. She pretty much created that genre.

Sandler reminding Apatow that Brooks paved the way for ugly comedians to marry beautiful women was pretty funny.

The joke cut from Blazing Saddles at the end of Ep. 1… ‘’Mrs. Von Schtupp, that’s my arm”

Besides Mel, it looks like Judd’s friends who are current comedians just riffing. Like Nick Kroll and Amy Schumer are gonna tell a great story about Mel Brooks or even have some worthy insight. This is an interview with Mel plus glorified “I Love the 80s” tier crappy comedian panel. Meh

It makes sense to interview younger performers to demonstrate his influence and legacy, but it does start to feel a bit like an office retirement party where younger employees get paraded up to say how awesome the old dude was.

The parts with people who actually knew him or worked with him are more interesting.

That's usually the case. Chapelle is the perfect subject, since he worked with Brooks and is now a huge comedy draw.
