John Cleese - [Jun-2001] - interview

[bravefartt]

i love it when americans talk shite to brish people about there accent when they were one vote anyway from speak german

[KoonKon]

@bravefartt were they really one vote away from speaking german?

[jazz4]

"nicked" means steal.

[FEARsystem89]

Cleese = Legend! Host = CUNT

[hentaidrifter]

yes i agree, that host sucks

[blueray1969]

@hentaidrifter here here....how dull and 2-dimensional.

[colinniloc99]

what a crappy talk show host.

[dancingdiplodocus]

yeah, I concur that the interviewer is a dickhead.

But we have always loved Cleese in America, and I can only apologise. It's just there has been a real cultural decline in our country over the past fifteen years: humor and wit is dead, audiences will clap at anything and we go after the weak and unhypocritical.

Yes, the country of Groucho Marx, Orson Welles and Jack Lemmon is no longer.

[egotired]

Craig Kilborn is the epitome of a douche. Dealing with a legend like cleese and acting like the faggot he just did, i've somehow mustered the energy to have even LESS respect for this talentless hack. losing your job isn't so bad... but when you're a shameless sycophant, it's the worst thing possible.

[mutedmakequiet]

the re-release?

what fucking re-release?!

[mettuccia]

John can be funnier than that...

[aireun]

im a little offended how the fuckin host is treatin him

[diefortacos]

yay, feta!

[texasBMXer]

John is easly one of the funniest people of the 20th century, along with all of the other Pythons of corse.

[SounzNice]

along with of course, Kenneth Williams.

[pathsofthedead]

well in!

Tony Hancock is the #1

Cleese is brilliant.

[dfarmbrough]

This is peculiar. The Late Late Show was Gay Byrne's show - why did they appropriate its name for this chat show? Cleese is surprisingly entertaining here, as he tends to withdraw sometimes when interviewed

[AlexandriaM]

God I miss 5 Questions.

[anothergirl45]

three questions

[chimaeraproductions]

This takes the piss out of the English... LOL!! problem is, if we do this to you Americans you complain!!! We've got a stiff upper lip and damn are we proud. lol. John, come home!!!!!! Satire is fun.

[squanto2]

Python made me an Anglophile.

But only because I am a xenophile.

[Nikihungary]

John Cleese, the GOD of Comedy

[Ikonicre]

They could've had polish...

They chose english and never paid a penny in copyright hehe.

[cjason123]

sis killborne always up in guest's faces like that? like he's talking to an immigrant or something?

[ricarleite]

He can name FOURTY cheeses due to the Cheese Shop Sketch...

[amperon2]

THIS MAN IS THE GREATEST. YHANK U JOHN

[cbmtrx]

No, no, no! You're missing the best part of this interview! Kilborn asks Cleese to say "Hello" 5 times in descending order of class.

"Eh-helleah"

"Hellow"

"Hullow"

"Allo"

"*Hack* Aghloe..."

One of the funniest things I've ever seen on TV!

[pleasantlydifferent]

the interviewers such a loser

[reav3rtm]

yep, I guess pretty cheap he was

[chiaroo10]

he appears all the sillier talking to Cleese.

[stokepogue]

'Bout time Kilborne left the airwaves

[Veggieman87]

"Inebriated". His mind is always on.

[lucynaribola]

Come on! Come on! Did the host think for a minute that John wasn't going to be able to name 5 types of cheese??? please!!

I love him even more for saying "wenslydale" *runs to see the cheese shop sketch*

[valland55]

is this where Rove in OZ got his idea? No $20?

[NMandasEmMIm]

uau, that interviewer is the worse...

[Kiami1]

who ever the hell the guy that was interviewing john is, i have one thing to say ... FAGGOT!

I reckon john should have gotten the third question right, it is just another name for a game, like soccer/football

[xokilljoyox]

"i'm starting to flatten my A's"

traitor!!

[wackiiraqi984]

im so glad craig kilborne is off TV, terrible, just terrible

[seriousRaver]

British RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blakeyisbuffed]

One word = Legend

[BethGoth15]

John's the main character in my fanfiction I'm writing. I've been attached to him since I started writing it! ROFL! He seems even cooler than he really is!

[Sukriti]

Beth, you're writing a fanfic??

I wanna read it!!

[BethGoth15]

Yeah and I've written TWO sequels. I can send it you if you like :)

[Sukriti]

yes please! I'll send you a message with my email address
