How better to celebrate the hijinks of April Fools’ Day than a night devoted to classic comedy — starting with Stanley Kramer‘s 1962 slapstick epic It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (8/7c), with a who’s-who of class-clown stars including Sid Caesar, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Buddy Hackett and Phil Silvers. Followed by Mel Brooks‘ 1968 Oscar winner (for best original screenplay) The Producers (11/10c), starring Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. Overnight laughs include the Marx Brothers in 1931’s Monkey Business (12:45 am/11:45c), the 1938 screwball farce Bringing Up Baby (2:15 am/1:15c) with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn and Buster Keaton‘s 1921 silent masterpiece Sherlock Jr. (4 am/3c).
