3 Monty Python guys on Countdown with Keith Olbermann TONIGHT!!

[lbrtbell]

Two bits of good news:

First, Keith is going to be there tonight!

Second, Monty Python's John Cleese, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam are guesting on the show!

This, according to MSNBC's Alana Russo

1. Oh man....

no Michael Palin? I've had a crush on him since I was about 7. :loveya:

[JBoris]

11. He will be on 'Regis and Kelly' along with Cleese and Idle tomorrow (oct 15)

40 years of Python!

[MUAD_DIB]

17. Oh no you didn't!

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Yeah. I had a crush on him too. :^D

[renate]

21. I've read that he is a genuinely nice person

I have a (small) collection of books on the history of British humor in the 60s and 70s, and while most of the comedians from that period (or any period, I'm sure) are more complicated and less cheery than they would seem from their public personalities, many of the people interviewed in those books say that Michael Palin is a really pleasant, easy-going, happy person. Which I was glad to see, since I've had a crush on him for years too. :)

23. Palin for President ....

:rofl:

[ceile]

2. I'm laughing already!

Should be good....

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. Keith will be in heaven!

He's such a nerd sometimes...:)

[Crunchy Frog]

18. Yes, he is very obviously a Python fan.

[GodlessBiker]

4. I hope Keith gives them the "soft cushion." ("Have you got all the stuffing up one end?")

[Gregorian]

14. Not the Comfy Chair!

The fact that Cleese and the gang give respect to Keith speaks volumes. When John was on previously he made it very clear what he thought of Keith.

5. TiVo. n/t

[annabanana]

6. It's

something completely different!

[nolabear]

7. WooHoo! I could use a good laugh. Manatees, beware!

[zbdent]

8. What's amazing is that, as bizarre as they will likely get,

they'd be far closer to the truth than most of Beck's drooling stooges ...

[glitch]

15. Having heroes Cleese, Jones, Gilliam, Idle and Palin make me a little bit sadder for those whose

heroes are Beck, O'Reilly and Limbaugh.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

9. Right, what's all this then?

I sense magic. :evilgrin:

[Bluenorthwest]

10. I'm going to put a penguin on my television set for the evening

although these new flat screens make it hard for him to get a good footing.

[Aragorn]

12. Even better

IFC (Independent Film Channel) will do a mini-marathon of Monty Python - "The Lawyer's Cut" (I get it).

Oct 18-23 @ 9 Eastern.

http://www.ifc.com/ - wait for it to cycle in the upper left.

13. There are so many classic Monty Python bits that it is hard to know where to begin.

Where ever I was on Sunday nights, I would be sure to be back home in time to watch Monty Python....way back then...

[Martin Eden]

16. Terry Jones wrote a scathingly funny commentary about chimpy's rationale for invading Iraq

This was back in January 2003, before the invasion. Well worth the read, IMO. Here's the link:
