John Cleese Defends Monty Python Manager After Eric Idle Called Group’s Income Disastrous: ‘We Always Loathed and Despised Each Other’
John Cleese says Monty Python members "always loathed and despised each other."
John Cleese took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to Eric Idle after the latter went viral for some heated comments related to Monty Python, the legendary British comedy troupe that Idle and Cleese co-founded in 1969 alongside Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.
