Late Night w David Letterman - John Cleese

[TheBestCommenterEVER]

he should have introduced him as john motherfucking cleese

[TheAdamewing]

I love Python and John Cleese, but I don't know about all this "best interview I've ever seen"

[PeterStoreysbutler]

Awesome

[dmonz2000]

Brilliant

[roadwarrior144]

I almost pissed my pants! Absolutely FUCKING hilarious!

[noodlesmealey]

john, je veux coucher avec toi.

[ImperialGeorge]

Are Letterman's questions quite serious?

[TheAdamewing]

@ImperialGeorge They are serious but I am not sure if they are quite serious.

[richie8811]

cleese looked quite handsome

[MsOneiroi77]

@richie8811 dashing and English ;-)

[gliga1988]

I love you John Cleese...:)

[TheLeppus28]

John Cleese at his best.

[OnkelStein]

Why the fuck did they start making toast? Hahaha

[Jaydz619]

Holy fu$%, David Letterman has gotten younger.

[Fripitto]

'No, we don't celebrate Independence Day in England.' XD

[committeesq]

He is wonderful in Taming of the Shrew. You can find it on Netflix.

And his series of Office Etiquette.

[ThrowntoReality]

I almost died from laughter!

[camillobian]

The best interview david has ever made to ;)

[camillobian]

John's a better comedian than David ;)

[btq28]

Back then I think Cleese was still hot. Now it's gone.

[Sophieledeux]

I knew he would completely steal the show

[inrwizards]

actually i think the audience was having a blast with him. hes one of those guys that when he's about to say something u wait in anticipation cause u know its going to be really clever and hilarious. he delivers every line beautifuly

[Eldomina22]

I'm embarrassed to say I do actually crucify a gerbil on September 4th.

[ohwhye]

Disliked this vid when I dropped my phone on the track pad - mistake! Cancel one of the dislikes. Sorry.

[yurismir1]

@PaulJuliusSokoloff There's a difference between getting a joke and finding it funny. I'm a "Yank" and I got the joke immediately, but it just didn't come off as funny for some reason. Humor is a difficult thing to explain and if you even try to explain it, then it won't be funny anymore.

[PaulJuliusSokoloff]

@yurismir1 If you listen to the 2 or 3 that laugh out loud (the few that git the joke), it proves that it went above most people's heads, including Letterman.

If you are a Cleese fan, you know he hates the weather in Britian and makes fun of it, especially in Faulty Towers.

[KalleVarta]

Greatest Late-night talk show interview I have ever seen! 

[matais1]

pruning hedgehogs hahaha

[Killingglorie]

i cracked when he mentioned our lord

[ErdoBoyPats52]

FINALLY!!!! I have been looking for this for ages.

The brilliance that IS...John Cleese.

[lashlashlashlashlash]

Denim shirt with yellow tie. Awesome.

[DrewBludd]

"by number, not by weight." love it.

[sjmacc1412]

funniest interview i've ever seen!

[gymnosophy]

Hint of the Four weddings and one funeral scene here?

[whb786]

Cleese is fucking amazing. I'm spellbound by him. What a talent

[LGD3]

Uh,, 'at the end of the 5 days, there's very often a DRAW (stalemate)' not tie. Ties are extremely rare,

One day cricket is about 7 hours and more recently there is a 2 hour game called Twenty20.

[thewhitezombie666]

dependence day, crucifing gerbils,"ummmm...sorry..."

everything he says is absolute genius

JOHN CLEESE IS GOD!!

[pretzelberg]

He introduces him as a "talented writer, writer and producer"

Does Cleese even need an introduction?

[Ail3a]

@pretzelberg writer, writer?

[RoachySilence]

@pretzelberg

Writer, producer & performer

[chadsexinton]

YES CRICKET IS 2ND MOST POPULAR SPORT IN THE WORLD NOW.

[GraciousRuler]

I love it how while Dave is passing him all the things Cleese just continues talking, relaxed, like he's at a friend's house. This man is a legend.

[yukishirochan]

There is a lot of sarcastic jokes on this. Hahaha, hillarious.

[luizcadu]

wow is this routine on holidays improvised? If it is the man is more brilliant than I ever thought!

[yukishirochan]

@luizcadu he was being sarcastic. it's always funny to be sarcastic.

[freekicking85]

@luizcadu Yeah, it will be.. its basically python humour, really silly and random. I.e. pruning hedgehogs and crucifying gerbils.

[BakaPyros]

HE"S CLEAN SHAVEN! O.0

[freekicking85]

haha!, John Cleese is crackers... love it at 2:57 when somebody basically shits themselves laughing.

[0wls2k]

This is an incredible performance from Cleese

[JanineRobin]

You can tell when Dave really likes a guest

[hattrickster33]

wow they dont hav toast on letterman any more lol

[jaylias]

funny as hell! John is very witty, not to mention his intellect.

[chamallowbleu]

Hilarious

[mettuccia]

John's simply amazing

[JaneEva]

Thanks! He looks great! I think a lot of his British humor went over the heads of the Americans. Well, it was only 1988!

[GreenlandCat]

@JaneEva quit treating north americans like their complete idiots,

there was nothing that would go over anyone's head if they have one

[yukishirochan]

@JaneEva totally agree with you there.

[pique62]

@JaneEva think the Americans would have evolved by now ?
