"['It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'] is an old movie from the '60s that I want to remake and do with all funniest, like, a who's who of Black comics. That's what I want to do. And, of course, Martin would be in that," he told the ABC News.

"They look great. Glad they still have a friendship and continue to support each other," wrote one user.

Another fan referring to their film Boomerang, said, "That’s that hug from Boomerang! Bring it in!"
