He was ALWAYS ahead of his time and never let the biases and prejudices of others taint his love of comedy. This comedic genius of a man gave Dave Chappelle his big break in "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" in 1993.

The brilliance of Blazing Saddles, that many people miss, is that the townspeople were angry when Sheriff Bart showed up, but at the end of the film nobody called him names and all of the townspeople begged him to stay. They were sad to see him leave.
