But what does he think about the new movie version of Get Smart starring Steve Carell and Ann Hathaway? Well, the Los Angeles Times interviewed him and he had a few things to say. Here’s just a taste:

It’s got a good director, Peter Segal. Wonderful director. The writers were great. The producers were young and aggressive and smart. But the brilliance is Steve Carell. To choose a guy who’s right in the Don Adams groove. You couldn’t get a better guy than Steve Carell. And yet he doesn’t do Don Adams. He does none of his delivery. He just does Steve Carell.

Check out the full interview at The Los Angeles Times!

Get Smart opens in theaters on June 20, 2008.
