I cannot express the utter Joy this man brought to me growing up with The Monty Python. Total Legend :)
Don’t forget Fawlty Towers. Still laugh at it today.
@@dianacasey6002 Ah yes shame on me for forgetting Faulty Towers, that was/is also hilarious :)
@@bigdaz7272 👍
...after an overdose of woke news watching Fawlty Towers is always a refreshing antidote...😊😊....
@@chatham43 can't go wrong with a bit of Till Death Us Do Part and Some Mothers Do Ave Em either :)
"I think it was the wrong one" 😂 I love John Cleese 😌
He's not wrong, though. I admire and appreciate Gilliam's talents, but his personal behavior leaves a lot to be desired.
Great quote heard in Canada “when you’re old, all the wrong things are stiff in the morning!”
I like that , so true !
That is so funny!!!
The Life Of Brian film is a work of art.
I met John Clesse at a restaurant in Huntsville, Ontario Canada. That Little Place By The Lights. He was filming a movie in Muskoka Canada and his air BNB fell through. He needed a place to stay. You wouldn't believe how many people said "you can stay here". The community gathered around him and wanted to help him not because he's a celebrity...but because he's a genuinely nice man.
True story: walks into the restaurant I'm working at with one sock on and one sock off. The server says to him "did you lose your sock?" He said: "yes, would you mind finding it for me." Pure class. What a gentleman. He just wanted to make her laugh.
You have a heart James. Thanks for having him on.
"I know one of the Terrys died - I think it was the wrong one." rofl

John Cleese is a legend. Great to see him on LBC.
He's a comedy genius to & most of all what I like about him now is he doesn't give a flying **** about anything & anyone !!
@@catastrophic009 Apart from when he moaned about London being "no longer an English city" in 2019
......he did have a point there....I wouldn't live there....
@@steik6414 Well it isn't an English city but then again which Cities are English ? Diversity has been forced upon us all & the indigenous have had no say right?
@@steik6414 not moaning, he was saying it how it is.
Oh, I adore him.
Holy Grail was a turning point in my life. The dry humour and silliness but not making fun of individuals. It's a shame comedy isn't like it today.
You can't have comedy nowadays! Prats like you spoilt it!
Much comedy that comes out these days would have created a controversy at the time life of Brian of holy grail came out.
Well, technically, it made fun of the English and French stereotypes.
I enjoyed the respect that James give John as an elder……. James is starting to grow on me, we never stop learning and evolving! I think James is constantly evolving as I am, I lean left and right constantly. I just wish people would do the same and not try to appeal to one side for monetary reasons.
Holy Grail still makes me laugh and I've watched it at least 25 times. I admire Mr. Cleese and his fellow Pythonians so much.
only 25 times ?????😄
What is your favourite colour?
@@melvert33 green, no blue ahhhhhhh
you mean per week.. right?
Such a lovely old man...I always loved older people when I was a kid and had so much respect...hopeful;ly I'll command as much as Mr. Cleese; what a cheery, happ y& knowledgable old bloke..thanks for taking the time to share your wisdom old boy 🤜💥🤛 🍊
What a legend. I have a grin on my face from the moment I pressed play. A Genius. Full Disclosure is fantastic too. You should name the epsiode, 5'5. Well done James.
Yes, let the small people have it, now that we're no longer allowed to make fun of foreigners and homosexuals.
James is starstruck like little kid😊 Just loved it.
The legend is back
Couldn’t go without a dig at Gilliam ‘the wrong Terry died’ hahaha
The great thing is that Terry Gilliam won't care.
But I'm sure there will be others upset on his behalf.
I couldn't stop smiling or laughing through this interview.
His 'the wrong Terry' comment went over James head, but how John Cleese amused himself with the joke....just brilliant!!
Agree but the joke didn’t go over his head at all. Listen again and you’ll hear him respond. He knew exactly what he was saying.
@@ptv8113 NOPE SORRY BUT THIS DJ IS DA
W🐑🐑LEST SHEEP IN COMMONWEALTH ‼️ RADIO 🤕😷🙉
Nice to see John so happy and lucid. I'm not sure if I imagined this, but for some years I've had this idea that he had grown into a highly-strung, out-of-touch old fusspot, a sort of sad caricature of the parts he played in Python and Fawlty Towers.
I saw The Life of Brian in a cinema way back. I pretty much knew the Gospels inside-out already (I was a curious kid), and so for much of it I found myself laughing at the less obvious gags, and laughing alone. I'm sure it's that combination of silly slapstick and a deeper and transcendent message that keeps the film sitting at the top of the funniest ever lists. And of course it's the reason why the flailing church was so threatened by it then (just as a Christian in my neighbourhood now is worried about my doing yoga). I shall also never forget the revulsion I felt at the appalling behaviour of Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark when they came onto a tv chat show with Cleese and Palin and attacked the "tenth rate...squalid...miserable little film".
He said some uncomfortable truths a few years ago and parts of the media characterised him as out of touch and so forth.
What a legend. Still nails the dry humour too.
Came here to write the same, but they are really two legends. One in the making!
O'Brien must be the winner. Hilariously funny, problem is he doesn't know it!
J,O'B is noticably polite&, respectful!👍 But why??
....where is the real James and what have you done with him...??
@@jerryoshea3116 Because he cowers around intellect, he’s a bottom feeder.
Wow! JOHN GLEESE 😂😂 I SEE HIM AND START LAUGHING.😂😂💝
If you listen to this at 2x speed, John Cleese sounds normal speed.

John has kept mentality astute perhaps due to always learning and being involved in projects.
When I was 18 I arrived in London for the first time to begin a summer internship. I was extremely nervous and having arrived on the Sunday night, for work starting the next day, I thought it be best to go for a walk and acquaint myself with the area to make the incoming morning commute a little smoother.
I got a little lost (naturally) and after one or two wrong underground stops, found myself in a somewhat frantic state roaming the streets of Belgravia.
I felt a coldness in the area, everyone was keeping themselves to themselves and asking for directions felt socially out the question!
However, a rich and redeeming memory I have from this evening, was when I turned a corner, and walked straight into a tall, impeccably dressed man. I looked up to apologise and looking down back at me was Mr John Cleese.
He put his arms on my shoulders and said (in his incredible accent) “oh so sorry my boy, my mistake”.
His endearment and magic helped me a lot that evening.. What a man!
thats a fantastic story

I never warmed to his films, but as Fawlty, he was brilliant , and surrounded by brilliance.
Were you in the race for people who think they are chicken's?
Much love to all 💙💙💜💜💚💚
Nice to see James actually enjoying himself for once!
You don't listen to Mystery Hour, then!

I wish I could spend 3 weeks a year in the uk..
I was going to say! Really? Where are you from? Afghanistan? The U.K. is is in a spiral of depression and Union strikes not seen since the 1970’s with a dysfunctional government that is AWOL at the moment of crisis. This said it is a drab and parched land at the moment! Why would you want to live in a country that complains when it rains too much?
I take it you are unlucky and have to remain at least 50 weeks of the year?
@@CJ-gn8qm I think Paul S is saying that is the amount of time John Cleese spends in the UK, he lives abroad.
Ha ha l see what you did there
@@CJ-gn8qm Realistically there is only one state in the world you would be in to wish you could spend 3 weeks a year in the UK.
He seems somehow calmer than he did 10 or so years ago.
"I know one of the Terry's died...I think it was the wrong one" 🤣
John Cleese: He need you to know how much he doesn't care.
When he's not namedropping my favourite pubs and canal bike rides, JOB is reading my mind. Just last week I was thinking that I'd love to hear him interview Cleese (I'm interested in their differing opinions about wokeism). Sure enough.....!
The Life of Brian was an absolute masterpiece and could not be made today for many many reasons. RIP comedy.
Name one.
What happened to his choice of the beautiful island of St Nevis as his home a few years ago?
Who is this guy? Why didn't you interview Monty??
;)
This is joyous 😊 so excited for the full disclosure x
total utter legend and genuinely very funny even in casual conversation!
Love John Cleese..fish called Wanda one of the best films ..
What a gentleman.
Great interview
Unique old John 😊
7.00 the bemusement on John Cleese’s face when asked what Terry Jones’s objection was. Oh dear. Tell Mr O’Brien someone.
I was born in the 80's, watching Fawlty Towers in the 90's was some of the funniest times of my life. RIGHT! YOU'VE HAD IT!
John has done some wonderful work and comedy over the years. Some of his more recent pronouncements are a little bit grumpy old guy but you cannot knock his body of work.
He isn’t a fan of wokeism like most of us, so I can’t knock him for anything tbh
His black knight performance in the holy grail, turned out to be prescient for his brexiter performance
...me neither...
@@ineedmoreflavour1955 define 'wokeism' ;)
@@ineedmoreflavour1955 you aren’t a fan of equality and respecting others?
Brilliant.
"I could be arguing in my spare time."
They made fun of everything and anything , that was the point , saw them live in the early 70,s best show i ever saw
Exactly, I loved it when they made fun of black people 🤣 Brilliant stuff!!!
@@billlowe70 The Harlem Stinger?
@@billlowe70 .You clearly didn’t get the joke.
They where making fun of those who think making fun of blacks is a joke,
@@billlowe70 the pythons made fun of prejudice….
@@billlowe70 the point of the joke, you missed it
It's not the despair , I can take the despair , it's the hope I can't stand
I just saw The Offer, it was the making of The Godfather and behind the scenes and it was from the same studio company. If The Life of Brian was made today and the interview he gave with his co star again a critic, put their point. Sir Ahmed Salman Rushdie should never been attacked. If we have a cancel culture attacking comedy and literature, then how can we laugh and smile
great interview.
...great interviewee anyway....
Absolutely love this man. A true gem.
Too bad he turned into a conservative in his old age
@@bipslone8880 the sad part is he would be a liberal in the US
@@nickbarber3315 I don't think so.
@@bipslone8880 because?
@@nickbarber3315 You don't hear American liberals complain about wokeness. A term conservative use to portray themselves as victims when say or do hateful things and are held accountable. Like Cancel Culture.
At last you get a minister on , the guy from the ministry of silly walks.
Two Legends
Still hilarious and sharp at the age of 83.
Love this old fella.
It is refreshing to see James O'Brien putting his ideological leanings aside for a moment whilst speaking to a man whom he clearly admires despite the yawning chasm that seperates their politics.
I can understand why people would dislike the Stan/Loretta part, mainly Reg's insults towards Loretta, but I think if you examine the scene it actually isn't too bad.. For instance Judith, who is pretty much the only sensible, competent person in the whole group, when Loretta "comes out", she asks "Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?" and is genuinely curious rather than insulting and dismissive the way Reg is. Then she makes Loretta feel better by being on Stan/Loretta's side. I don't think having a character like Reg in the film who is dismissive of Loretta, makes the film transphobic, especially when the character is shown to be oafish and incompetent in other aspects of his personality, whereas a more sensible character like Judith is more accommodating of Loretta.
And finally later on in the film, Reg makes a misogynistic comment about Judith, when she's urging him to help save Brian, and not only is Reg confronted about that comment by Loretta, he also apologises to Loretta and uses her new name. So it's actually pretty cool that he does become more progressive by the end even though it's still in the context of a joke.
The only thing I don't really like about the Loretta plot and why I understand why people don't like it... is this idea that Loretta wants to be a woman because she wants to have babies... because that is genuinely a confused belief, and Reg would be right to call it out as such. But real trans people aren't confused about who they are or what their bodies are capable of the way Loretta seems to be in the film. The way the scene is specifically written to make Reg seem like he's in the right, and Loretta seem delusional, is the only issue IMO because it can represent transgender people in a disingenuous way. But it's something that could easily be tweaked slightly for a music, just make Loretta say she wants to be a woman rather than she wants to have babies, and you have the exact same character without accidentally misrepresenting why people are trans.
l love the way he says "im going to be dead soon" in such a matter of fact, couldnt care less manner
Didn't he used to be John Cleese and don't mention the brexit
to be fair was anyone going to live that down.
Was Cleese a Brexiter ?
I know he was ANTI TRUMP.
Actually isn't his real name John Cheese?
Tom Holland is 5'8. He's so obsessed with his height you'd be forgiven for thinking he's short.
John Cleese=Genius!
James acting like a fanboy😍
Yeah, I would have liked to have seen more push back on the claim that he isn't finding work because he's old, white, and male while at the same time he's rich, producing a musical, and traveling all over.
Not sure Cleese noticed, "Doesn't seem to hurt in politics." or if he just chose to not acknowledge it.
Well, who wouldn’t turn into a fanboy with Cleese in the same room? Him and the rest of the Python’s made me a Anglophile for most of my mature life, only Brexit gave that a swift kick in the head! I’m a Swede if you might wonder and Monty Python was and still are huge here! Guess they fit in with our Law of Jante?
@@jcspoon573 just cos you don’t see it it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
@@jcspoon573he mentioned specifically in England he doesn’t get much work because he’s old white male implying he doesn’t have that issue elsewhere.
@@RandomTask Maybe he just doesn't realize he isn't on the same level as Anthony Hopkins, Ian McKellan, Michael Caine, or Patrick Stewart, who are all older, and continue to work despite the baggage of being old, white, male, and British.
I grew up with his promotional videos easily remembered being hilarious just an awesome guy as were the others!..
Absolute legend!
Loving the macabre jokes off Cleese
nice to see Cadwell is doing well after escaping coldharbour.😁
Portugal.. Nice wish you well
What was that thing in the middle ?
Well done James, you managed to not be such an insufferably pompous bore as usual, even if only for a brief while.
He’s no Steven Crowder, George Galloway and Paul Joseph Watson is he? Maybe go back to those titans of wit and humility lol
@@wephilips6651 George Galloway would destroy O'Brien in any debate on any subject. He's also light years to the left of him. Lol.
@@wephilips6651 I was paying James a compliment. His insular, privileged upbringing makes it hard for him to have empathy for others, or consider other viewpoints. I can sometimes see him trying to restrain his own egotistic and narcissistic tendencies, and I applaud him for that.
Even brexshit drove an imaginary wedge between the Monty Python lads - Well done. Division 💰💰💰
I went to a Christian school and we watched Life of Brian in class.
Dya think an Islamic version would ever be made ?

Wouldn't mind a bit of extra clockwise either

As long guys like John Cleese are still around we're not completely fcked.
First time I’ve seen James laugh. We need more of his giggling and light hearted chat instead of the frowning norm. I actually enjoyed watching him smiling and not mentioning Brexit once lol 😂
Full disclosure? not exactly breaking the establishment.
Just the other day I thought I'd like to form a new nation and call it Lorettastan.
JC looks as though he's turning into Tony Benn! But give him a Knighthood!!
John visually appears to be morphing into the late, great Tony Benn MP.
John Cleese is the only person in the world who would say, "I'm going to be dead, soon," so happily.
John Cleese and Tom Baker both insouciantly quip the 'I'll be dead soon' thing. They're both absolute legends too so long may it be untrue!
Given Cleese's long-standing 'war on Woke', an interesting guest for O'Brien.
The PERFECT guest - I look forward to the podcast.
You can say that again!! obrien the woke machine!! O brien is like my mum and dad!! Woke as F..K but like to think not!!
Cleese is pro brexit too why did James let that go by
@@MT-kx2uc Woke just means being aware of societal injustice, especially racism. That's the dictionary definition.
That being said, 'anti-woke' right-wingers will perform incredible feats of mental contortion in order to redefine 'woke' as being something bad. Mostly because they find it very difficult to explain why they're so against people being aware of societal injustice and racism.
@@MT-kx2uc probably you judging by that comment
So nice to see him .
Why?
Cleese is BRILLIANT!
I'm surprised these two can actually tolerate each other
Why? They're not as far apart as you'd think.
@Pixie Pete You honestly think Cleese "detests" being alert to injustice and inequality, especially when it's racially-based? Because that's the definition of "woke".
@Pixie Pete Define 'woke'

@@dunebasher1971 thats the old definition, it now stands for something very different
