CLEESE FLIES WITH ABC: Monty Python alum John Cleese (currently seen in The World is Not Enough) is developing a series for ABC. Variety reports that the British comedian will write and produce a pilot for ABC, but there are no plans for him to star in the project, which takes place in a law firm where some of the partners have made deals with the devil!

New interview with Eric Idle

Buy a new edition of videos and DVDs of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is out now on DVD, as is a Criterion version of Life of Brian.

Cleese is set to star in a new film directed by Ben Stiller.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride directed by Terry Jones and starring all the living British Pythons is on video now.

From Backstage Pass:
It was just too good to be true. At last year's Aspen Comedy Festival the surviving Pythons got back together for a well deserved tribute. The boys got on so well, they all decided to do a reunion tour, much to the delight of their fans. Then Terry Gilliam decided he really didnn't want to do a tour. Maybe a one night show in Vegas.... No, Michael Palin really didn't want to do Vegas. How about New York? What a great idea! Except that Eric Idle didn't want to do it. So now it's a 4 hour BBC special, set to air in the month of October, 1999. When asked about the special, John Cleese said "It's going to be a lot of fun. Hopefully it'll show we haven't grown up at all." There's been no word yet on what the special will contain but Cleese assures fans that there will be both familiar material and new bits of dementia. Cleese can be seen starting this week in the Steve Martin / Goldie Hawn remake of "The Out of Towners".

The concert films Pleasure at Her Majesty's and The Secret Policeman's Ball are now available from Rhino Home Video.

From Ultimate TV:
John Cleese Given Professorship
British actor-comedian and Monty Python member John Cleese ("Fawlty Towers") has been given an honorary professorship at Cornell University. "I would be delighted to answer anything, provided that you call me, 'Professor Cleese,"' Cleese joked to a crowd of about 1,200 students during a discussion on the mechanics of humor Saturday. "I think I would rather be a professor than an earl or a duke." Cleese was made an honorary A.D. White professor-at-large, a program named after Cornell's first president.

The German episodes, "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus," are on video now. Details can be found here.

Monty Python's Flying FAQ


Q: What's all this then?
A: To honor the work of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, the comedy troupe known as Monty Python.
Q: What's Monty Python all about?
A: In two words, being silly. They are the British sketch comedy group known for "The Ministry of Silly Walks", "The Dead Parrot", "The Argument Clinic", "The Lumberjack Song", and many other sketches, along with their classic films Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian, and Monty Python's Meaning of Life.
Q: What's their story?
A: These five British and one American (Gilliam) comedians were offered their own show on the BBC in 1969, which became quite successful (and somewhat controversial) by its second season. Cleese left the group after the third season, and the other five taped a short fourth season in 1974. They were all back together again in 1975 for "The Holy Grail", where they met with huge success in the U.S. (where PBS had shown the series for a short time) and continues today. In 1979 and 1983 they filmed the other two successful films, and then returned to their respective individual works, coming together in little groups for such classic films as Yellowbeard, Time Bandits, A Fish Called Wanda, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. In 1989, one day short of the groups 20th anniversary, Graham Chapman died of cancer. However, Python lives on in their web site, PythOnline, and recent film releases featuring multiple members of the group (both available on video): Fierce Creatures and Wind in the Willows. Terrys Gilliam and Jones are now successful directors: especially Jones for Labyrinth and Gilliam for 12 Monkeys and Brazil. Python will indeed live forever!
Q: Wanna come back to my place?
A: Yeah, alright.
