"Telegram for Mongo".

Does anyone know who Mongo is in Blazing Saddles? A friend of mine keeps trying to tell me he's Larry Czonka. I keep telling him he's full of crap.

Thanks, I knew it wasn't Csonka.

And I guess it's "candygram" not "telegram".

When I was a kid, I had the biggest crush on Madeline Kahn because of that movie! She wore a push up bra (lingerie)that drove me nuts!!!
