Dick Van Dyke, Carl Reiner, and Mel Brooks Reunite in Never-Before-Seen Throwback Footage

A newly shared throwback video is giving fans a rare look at three comedy legends enjoying each other’s company.

On Sunday, April 19, Dick Van Dyke’s wife Arlene Silver posted behind-the-scenes footage from a 2015 photoshoot featuring her husband, Mel Brooks, and Carl Reiner.

“2015 Degrees of baldness with Dick Van Dyke ,Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner ❤️ Andy Gotts 📸,” she captioned the Instagram post.

The playful clip shows Brooks seated in the center while Van Dyke and Reiner stand on either side, laughing, teasing one another during the shoot.

The footage was filmed during a portrait session by photographer Andy Gotts and also served as a mini reunion of sorts tied to The Dick Van Dyke Show. Reiner famously created and wrote the beloved series, which ran from 1961 to 1966 and starred Van Dyke as Rob Petrie.

Reiner and Brooks, meanwhile, shared an iconic creative partnership. Their legendary “2000 Year Old Man” routines from 1975 became classics, while both men had lengthy Hall of Fame careers in television and film.

The resurfaced footage also carries added emotional weight. Reiner died in 2020 at age 98, while Brooks, now 99, remains one of the last living links to a golden era of comedy. Van Dyke, who recently turned 100, continues to delight fans with his humor and regular social media appearances on his wife’s Instagram.

And fans loved the peek at the rare footage, leaving comments like “One word: Legends 🤘👏,” and “A great group.”

Brooks also isn’t slowing down creatively. The comedy legend is returning to one of his most beloved franchises with Spaceballs: The New One, the long-awaited follow-up to the 1987 cult favorite. A first look was unveiled at CinemaCon in April 2026, where Brooks appeared in a teaser announcing the official title.

“I have a major announcement: Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money is not going to be the title of this movie,” he joked. “Why not? Because after all these years, I found the money.”
