Did you catch the Monty Python guys on Live With Regis and Kelly this morning? It was odd seeing Regis challenging Larry King for the title of Least Prepared Interview of the Year. He didn't seem to be aware that the five of them hadn't been appearing together continually for the last forty years. I suspect that Mssrs. Cleese, Gilliam, Idle, Jones and Palin have come to learn that they're in for a rocky interrogation when the opening question is about where the name "Monty Python" came from. The night before, Jimmy Fallon led off with the same query and they didn't answer him, either.
But last night, they had the much-ballyhooed reunion in New York. IFC did a live stream of the event on their website and I've embedded the video here. It's not too clear and the video will cut in and out and freeze up on you now and then, plus the first minute or so is the tail end of something else with low audio. But if you have patience, you might enjoy some of what you can make out. I assume it was also recorded via more professional means and that that video will turn up in some future Python project — maybe the next documentary on the history of the group or the documentary after that about the history of the group or the one after that…
