Like him or not, Cleese has new show going after the communist cancel culture. They will need to be very very careful. Cleese is a brilliant guy who can gut you while smiling politely and then you thank him for the evisceration.
Last year, the comedian slammed cancel culture, saying that it puts “emotionally unstable and fragile” people in positions of power. “Everything humorous is critical,” the Monty Python star said at the time. “If you have someone who is perfectly kind and intelligent and flexible and who always behaves appropriately, they’re not funny.”
This cracked me up some months ago
Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people
We're sorry for any distress we may have caused
