Mel Brooks pays tribute to Buck Henry, his fellow Get Smart co-creator

Twitter

"Was so saddened to hear of Buck Henry’s passing yesterday," tweeted the 93-year-old Brooks, who co-created the classic 1965-1970 secret agent comedy with Henry, who died this week at 89. "I remember the joy I felt every morning when I was on the way to work with Buck on the pilot of Get Smart. He could break me up with just a screwy look on his face. He was a truly great comedy writer who will be missed."
