John Cleese was interviewed by our local radio station.... 20 odd years ago or so. Within the first minute of a 15 minute interview, the interviewer lost his sh**t and couldn't stop laughing. And the interview was basically 14 minutes of hard deep laughing and 1 minute introduction. I never laughed so dam hard. Best interview EVER.

The "Germans" episode of Fawlty Towers was the time I laughed the hardest and longest in my entire life. I'll never forget it. I felt like I was recovering from the flu when it was over. The Ministry of Silly Walks might have been second.

Haha! Love his name! My grandfather was a petus. But he had two(three, really) secret families, so he joined the Navy (great cover) as a "Thompson" but they buggered up his name on his first pay, so he changed his name to cash it. I'm a Thomison now.

Michael Palin talks about running over a dog with a steamroller (Letterman must've done the bit where they flatten stuff under one). Could this have been the inspiration for the dog vs steamroller scene in A Fish Called Wanda in 1988?

Good connection. Yeah, Letterman used to run over stuff with a steamroller. The objects were all audience requests.

There was no dog vs steamroller scene, although there were both several accidental dogslaughters and a man gets steamrolled. The man getting steamrolled scene was the idea of the director, Charles Crichton, but the dog deaths could've been all Palin.

Such a weird chemistry between Cleese and Letterman in the first clip. Cleese seemed okay in the beginning but Letterman seem completely freaked out and it makes Cleese a bit annoyed. Just watch the Dick Cavett interview. A completely different vibe there.

I usually get email notifications when a video has been blocked. I didn’t this time, so thanks for the alert. Just checked the video: three movie clips were monetized by the copyright owners but not blocked. It was a clip from a Monty Python episode that was blocked. So I need to remove just that clip and it should be ok. First step, though, is to find the original iMovie files.
