Hmm...I never realized he had any writing credit in Blazing Saddles. Apparently, he was supposed to have the Cleavon Little role, but he was so controversial at the time that they couldn't get the movie financed...and he was supposed to have the Gregory Hines role in "History of the World, Part 1", but that's when he set himself on fire and couldn't do it.
