This is my tribute to those six gentlemen who have changed my life. I
would try to impress you with my ability to repeat every line from
The Holy Grail but most people wouldn't read it so I won't
bother. Through my many years of being a fan, I have been blessed with the
ability to have seen every episode of the TV show and every movie they put out
(including Jabberwocky). Unfortunately Comedy Central stopped airing their
shows a number of years ago now, so I am left with my memories and what I can
rent from Blockbuster.
John Cleese
Some of my favorite sketches are:
"The Hungarian Phrase Book"
"Upperclass Twit of the Year"
"Interesting People"
"The Election Special"
"Joke Warfare"
And any sketch involving Mr. Gumby(s)
I also like all sketches/TV shows/movies involving John
Cleese. He is one of my idols.
I wrote my college admissions essay about him: "Name a famous person whom
you admire." Because of this essay I was accepted through early admissions.
He has dozens of credits to his name, another fine production of his was Faulty
Towers - a sit com about a couple who owned a private hotel.

I read the book entitled The First 200 [last '0' crossed out] Years of Monty
Python which gave me wonderful insight into the world of Monty Python as
a whole. It has episode guides, some scripts, and other interesting bits
about the cast and crew. I recommend you read it too.
