"You're John Cleese so we have to talk about comedy..." - "We ARE talking about comedy! 23% (trust in the UK media)"! Priceless.
-
"I don't make jokes... I just point them out." Priceless!

This ages like fine wine. He is spot on about everything.

“Am I interrupting you “ John Cleese - Absolute Legend :)

John Cleese laughing in her face is priceless.
-
This woman is proving his point.
-
They should do a follow up interview right now. It's more than painful how right he was all along
-
The great thing about Python is that, as John says, they don’t make jokes, they point them out. He handles this line of questioning as well as he ever did or does. The man is a gem.
-
She does not understand it: for Mr. Cleese, the Great Britain is dead, it's passed on, it's no more, it has ceased to be.
-
The interviewer was so sensitive about criticism of the media - Cleese was spot on and if I had the money he has, I’d be leaving too.
-
You've got to love a man that laughs in the face of a stupid question.
-
Good on him. Especially for not letting the interviewer patronize him.
-
"I don't make jokes I just point them out" I love that quote.

John Cleese “ I don’t make jokes, I just point them out “, brilliant

I would have to say that Emily Maitliss has finally met someone in the form of John Cleese who will not be brow-beaten, humiliated, cornered, etc. And that to my mind is a good thing. Cleese is and always will be, a remarkable human being who is observant, informed, and sharp. He would have to be, having led so many successful shows. Kudos to him and may he find Neaves to be everything that he expects it to be when he moves there. Brilliant guy 👍😃

"Now that sounds as if you're saying they're a bit thicker..." "Yes"
-
Twenty years ago I would never have left. Six years ago I left and it's the best thing I have ever done.
