Saw John in person and met him a second time in NJ a few days ago. He is truly a treasure and a lovely gentleman. (And I actually made him laugh, so my life is now complete...)
I guess he isn't the type that's true, but like he said he didn't get one because 'he is too naughty' haha yeah he doesn't need it just its a shame he never got offered, especially now he is older.
For this, you don't need to leave Europe. In Andalusia, or the southcoast of Crete, it's warm enough. And if you need more... Well the Canaries are at last every time of the year, warm enough. Btw. I think, he don't like the asshole- bastard, you Jerks elected for Prez last time...!
Having seen him on a ton of talk shows, it's so clear how much Cleese likes Colbert. He can be crotchety and difficult if he thinks the interviewer is being sycophantic or banal, but he's so pleasant and friendly with Stephen. A high honor, Colbert.
cleese any tears for aborted babies with your vote you kill. no respect for life your a dam hypocrite liberal trash workers of iniquity democrats evil doers in God eyes
There are two scenes which I've seen in theaters where I almost passed out from laughing. I guess if I had a heart condition I could have died. The first was in Naked Gun (yes I saw this when it came out) when Lt. Drebin is in the car with a student and the perfectly cast driving instructor John Houseman says very calmly "Normally we would not be driving 65 [MPH] down the wrong way of a one way street." The second was Bruno when Bruno talks about his sex life and how it's very "vanilla" and then shows an almost X-rated scene of the most bizarre gay sex ever.

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Well, Group Captain Biggles was another of Chapman's characters, but if his Colonel character ever had a surname, I didn't catch it...
@@toAdmiller Thanks! I saw this RFC- sketch only once, nearly 30 years ago and I didn't remember the name very well. I think, you are right about the Colonel (I never knew, that was a Colonel's uniform. I'm not so familiar with brit. uniforms). There was no name. I liked their military sketches a lot. But a bit more, I liked Rowan Atkinson as Black Adder. Particularly in WWI, it was often a persiflage on Winston Churchill ( I joined the army to fight people in the colonies who attack me with bananas and not to oppose hordes of Germans armed to the teeth ...) Both, Atkinson and Cleese, are people with a clear mind. Atkinson f.e. have 20 points IQ more, than Albert Einstein. A very bright candle... Greeds from Germany...
Nicholas Borg Your comment made me giggle. It shows your youth a bit. That's the same role my teenage son knows him for. You should check out his older roles. He's hilarious. ✌💚😊
I knew nearly headless Nick sounded and looked familiar. I've been trying to figure it out for days. Been watching the Harry Potter series with a couple of 7 year old who've never even heard of it before now. After Harry Potter we're watching the original Star Wars trilogy.
I don't know, but I think that must have been written by Michael Palin and Terry Jones, not John Cleese and Graham Chapman. It has that bizarreness of the famous Palin/Jones sketches like the Spanish Inquisition and the Silly Walks, not the wordy sketches with lots of synonyms like Cleese and Chapman's sketches like the Dead Parrot and the Cheese Shop. So Cleese might not associate much with the Funniest Joke sketch. Or maybe he had something to do with the second half, the WWII segment. It's aways struck me that the sketch radically changes gears midway.
Let's all rewatch it, I'm sure we'll figure it out. 😁 I saw it when I was 12 for the first time, when it came out and I almost died laughing a few times! 😂😂😂
With reference to the Dane who died laughing, I went with my Canadian husband to the first showing in the US of "Now For Something Completely Different". The cinema was packed and I was literally the only person laughing. Everyone else in the audience was stunned into silence. I am English by the way. As we were leaving, I asked my husband what he thought of the film. He said, "Well, it was worth it just to watch you!"
Wait a second, I watched this all the way through, Cleese talks on a variety of subjects and does talk about Trump briefly, he does not say anything about Trump reminding him of a pro wrestler, nothing at all. Where does the title to this video come from? Trump and the Republican party remind me of pro wrestling, a total farce and completely fake, but it is not in this video.
Young people who've never heard of A Fish Called Wanda, PLEASE watch it. It is a comedy masterpiece, possibly the funniest film ever made, yet no one really talks about it anymore. All of the actors are known for more popular things, like Jamie Lee Curtis's horror films, Kevin Kline's dramatic films (despite his Oscar winning comedic performance, which never happens), and everyone else for Monty Python. Please watch it and keep the love for it alive! You honestly owe it to yourself ;)
He might have said it in the show and it didn’t make it to the « RUclips cut ». It has happened before. However I have not seen the entire show this time so I can’t say for sure !
yeah, it was probably edited out, but they forgot to adapt the title they chose... Shit happens -.- I was just curious if people here actually noticed. Thank dog they do.
Well, he DID show up a couple of times as a gag, did stuff like slam Vince Mcmahon, move to the side and cheer for himself while the real action went on in the ring... ...just like he always does XD He and his trumpster fans even used it to insult CNN a while ago, remember? giphy.com/gifs/reactionseditor-trump-wrestling-3ohryCNP6uXSqXAoGA I think those few moments have been staged so he COULD get the hall of fame entry to begin with... you know, meeting the min. requirement of actually particitpating somehow
I hadn't heard that one about the expiry of the Danish dentist. It reminded me very strongly of what happened to me the first time I was exposed to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Here I was, a rather naïve 22 year old just returned to my home country of the UK after seven years in culturally isolated, insular South Africa. One night, finding myself at a loose end I decided to go to the cinema. One of the films playing was 'And Now for Something Completely Different'. By the time it got to the Parrot Sketch, I was already in trouble. Came the Adventure Tours sketch and I was having great difficulty in breathing. I thought I might have to leave the theatre it became so severe. Fortunately, though, I was young and fit and managed to sit through the entire film. Completely taken by surprise, I had never laughed so much!
Kelkschiz yet he’s a multi-billionaire, the leader of the free world, married to a stunning model and can do anything he wants... maybe it’s you that is failing at life...
He's a multi-billionaire because he inherited it from his Dad. He's had everything handed to him in life and yet he still managed 6x bankruptcies, a divorce, has cheated on the woman you're referring to numerous times and is a deeply insecure, bigoted individual. Who on earth would want to be like him?
See the reaction of Stephen Colbert and the crowd at 4:42. John Cleese got my respect there. And he didn't even realize he stuck the needle in a subject the Americans are sensitive about.
"The Leader of the Free World, Reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight Golden Trunks" A line from the latest Arctic Monkeys' album, who are the musical guest today! What're the odds?!

I started watching Monty Python in 1975 when I was 9, because my older siblings were watching and laughing hysterically. After seeing the Peckinpaw sketch of them playing tennis my mother forbid us from watching -- for awhile. I thought all 6 Python members were fantastic, and loved Fawlty Towers. My mother enjoyed British humor but had a hard time watching Cleese in Fawlty Towers; she told me "you can see he's having a nervous breakdown" -- which he actually was.

When he goes, it will put a stop to Python as surely as the death of John Lennon underscored the end of the Beatles.
John Cleese is a National Treasure !! The most self-deprecating man Alice. The art of making fun of one-s-self. Not taking yourself too seriously. What a wonderful brilliant man !! It takes a great amount if INTELLECT to be so spontaneously FUNNY !! Never stop !!
A pro wrestler so you mean his story is made up and not very good. So I have never heard any British person other than Pierce Morgan (and he dosnt count) have anything good to say about trump.
Wow, a much better interview than I was expecting. John has been getting pretty crotchety lately and it was nice to see a far funnier man back in his place. Well done!

John Cleese is a National Treasure !! The most self-deprecating man Alice.
The art of making fun of one-s-self. Not taking yourself too seriously. What
a wonderful brilliant man !! It takes a great amount if INTELLECT to be so spontaneously
FUNNY !! Never stop !!
The only record of death laughing was because of British Humor. TRuE!
Two masters of comedy, would love to watch them in an improv scene together.
John Cleese is considered too naughty to become a "Sir" but Jimmy Savile was knighted in 1990...
I know why trump thinks the british like him. Their insults all go over Trump's head and he thinks they are complimenting him.
A pro wrestler so you mean his story is made up and not very good.
So I have never heard any British person other than Pierce Morgan (and he dosnt count) have anything good to say about trump.
Shut up SC and let your guest John Cleese speak and finish his sentences.
"The leader of the free wooorld, reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight Golden Trunks..."
Wow, a much better interview than I was expecting. John has been getting pretty crotchety lately and it was nice to see a far funnier man back in his place. Well done!
John Cleese: One of the smartest & funniest men on the planet
I ❤️ you, Commander Cleese!
“The leader of the free world, reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks”
I was looking for this quote in the comments
Awesome
Trump is on the pro wrestling hall of fame. Look it up.
The Goodies killed a man through laughter first. The Ecky Thump episode.
lmao Lord Cheese. Never to be cold again.
John Cleese, a truly wise and funny gentleman!
