Monty Python
“Spamalot” star Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer talks about her journey to Broadway stardom, the diva on stage and within, Tonys, depression—and writing a play about Ghislaine Maxwell.
“Spamalot” returns to Broadway, and the Python-faithful will love it, even it feels a little lost in comedy time. Plus, Dianne Wiest plays a woman seeking fame in “Scene Partners.”
The “Monty Python” co-founders seem to be in disagreement over a planned stage adaptation of their 1979 film.
On this week’s episode of “The Last Laugh podcast,” Monty Python co-founder John Cleese talks “woke” comedy, laughing at Trump, and what he hopes his legacy will be.
“There is no hope for us that we could ever live in an intelligent, kind, well-run society,” the comedy legend says in this preview from “The Last Laugh podcast.”
“He was the complete Renaissance comedian,” said fellow founder Michael Palin. “...and the warmest, most wonderful company you could wish to have.”
John Cleese and Eric Idle recall the comedy troupe’s origins, and predict Trump —an “extraordinary caricature of an asshole”—won’t be the end of civilization as we know it.
