Brooks began his career as a comic and a writer for Sid Caesar's variety show ''Your Show of Shows'' from 1950 to 1954. With Carl Reiner, he created the comedy sketch ''The 2000 Year Old Man'', and together, they released several comedy albums, starting with ''2000 Year Old Man'' in 1960. With Buck Henry, he created the hit television comedy series ''Get Smart'', which starred Don Adams and ran from 1965 to 1970.
Brooks won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for ''The Producers'' (1967). He then rose to prominence becoming one of the most successful film directors of the 1970s with ''The Twelve Chairs'' (1970), ''Blazing Saddles'' (1974), ''Young Frankenstein'' (1974), ''Silent Movie'' (1976), and ''High Anxiety'' (1977).

A musical adaptation of his first film, ''The Producers'', ran on Broadway from 2001 to 2007 and earned Brooks three Tony Awards. The project was remade into a musical film in 2005. He wrote and produced the Hulu series ''History of the World, Part II'' (2023).
Brooks was married to actress Anne Bancroft from 1964 until her death in 2005.
