love the work big fan but when does the book come out i MUST have it i agree with today sitcoms

i love the python style and want to bring it back to the public

I love him in those commercials for Macgregor golf balls.He is hysterical!

Well, I think he is still amazing. TV and movies are dumbed down for the general population. I suppose intelligent performers can't make it in a Brittany Spears and "Friends" world...

Oh, well. I hope he was joking.

John Cleese was the BEST in his day. I find the Monty Python bits that focus on him to be their funniest. I loved every minute of "Fawlty Towers" (complete set available on DVD, by the way, for under $40).

The last time I saw him be truly amazingly funny was his guest shot on "Cheers" from 1987, where he played a couples therapist who was hounded by Sam & Diane until he exploded in aggravation, telling them to split up. When that didn't satisfy them, he told them they were perfect for each other. Five shows later, Diane left the show for good (or at least until the series ended, 6 years later).

He has done a lot of voice work since then, as well as made appearances as Nearly Headless Nick in the "Harry Potter" movies. And he's been in the last few James Bond films, and he was on "Will & Grace". None of which I'd count as comedic performances, "W&G" included.

About time, he's right he's not really done anything good for a long time. Fair enough the material he gets may not be much cop but even his own material has been crap. In fact he's turned into the sort of person who thinks you get funnier as you get louder.
