Comedian, actor and Tony Award winner Mel Brooks left his eternal mark in the world of show biz on Monday at a special ceremony outside the famed Chinese Theatre on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, CA.

The 88-year-old surprised the crowd and proved he still has the comedic chops as he donned a prosthetic sixth finger on his left hand. Following the ceremony, the 'Young Frankenstein' scribe tweeted, "I desperately need to wash my hands."

1974's 'Blazing Saddles' was directed by Brooks who also co-wrote the film along with Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Al Uger. Starring Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder, the movie was nominated for three Academy Awards, and is ranked No. 6 on the American Film Institute's 100 Years...100 Laughs list.

Brooks was also represented on Broadway by Young Frankenstein. The musical opened on Broadway on November 8, 2007 to mixed reviews. The Broadway production closed on January 4, 2009 after 30 previews and 484 performances. Prior to that, Brooks scored big with The Producers, which opened on Broadway on April 19, 2001, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, and ran for 2,502 performances, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards.
