For over half a century, Monty Python entertained fans with its absurdist humor and pointed satire The BBC series Monty Python's Flying Circus consists of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam playing a variety of characters with the help of repertory players like Carol Cleveland, Connie Booth, and[...]

They say we shouldn't meet our legends, or at least hear their dirty laundry being aired in public, like surviving members of Monty Python, John Cleese and Eric Idle The Monty Python legends exchanged barbs publicly feuded earlier this year after Idle complained that he still had to work because Python's earnings had dried up because[...]

They say you should never meet or get to know your heroes, and maybe we should add social media to that expression – as we've seen recently from Monty Python John Cleese and Eric Idle have made what seems to be a decades-long antipathy public on social media after Idle stated he was happy to[...]

But big-picture? Much like the characters on the screen, I would've been more than happy to watch both of them hack away at each other until there's nothing left except two horror-themed versions of The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail So when I hear that ex-FOX "News" primetime talking head Tucker[...]

It doesn't look like Scales will be back as Sybil as she has retired from acting due to ill health, and Booth left show business to become a psychotherapist.

The actor and comedian, who hasn't left full curmudgeon mode for some time, pulled out of an upcoming talk at the Cambridge Union scheduled for November 12 citing concerns over "woke rules" over Hitler impersonations he's done on his two signature series, Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, decades ago.

So there's an almost "perfect circle" completeness to covering this – on top of the fact that I grew up a huge Monty Python fan. So now I can push all that nostalgic bulls**t aside to say that Gilliam comes across as nothing more than just a sad, pathetic old white dude who rages at a[...]
