From stand-up, to acting, to writing and directing short films, to his seven, iconic, original motion pictures, including &#8220;<em>Modern Romance<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Lost in America<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Mother<\/em>,&#8221; and more, Brooks has paved the way for future generations and remains a comedic force in a league of his own. With testimonials from some of the brightest comedy talents and serious thinkers, as well as family and friends, ALBERT BROOKS: DEFENDING MY LIFE chronicles Brooks&#8217; very early work all the way to present day. In this deep and personal conversation, Reiner and Brooks explore the origins and evolution of Brooks&#8217; career, the impetus for his creativity, and the impact he has had on the world of comedy.<\/p><div id=\"morty-554484920\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Featured Participants: Attesting to Brooks&#8217; influence in the comedy and entertainment world is a host of notable celebrity figures including: Chris Rock, Conan O&#8217;Brien, Wanda Sykes, Jon Stewart, Ben Stiller, Steven Spielberg, Sarah Silverman, David Letterman, Larry David, Jonah Hill, Judd Apatow, Sharon Stone, Brian Williams, Anthony Jeselnik, Tiffany Haddish, Alana Haim, Nikki Glaser, James L.
