I don't think you just smoke joints and run a business. I would agree with you, Mr Eidel. Simple as that. Why would you sit in your office and watch for a few months and see what is going on? It's very good for you when you've been making very good decisions. They're horrible people. And they made a right mess of it. So not a fan of Rishi Sunak better than trust, better than let us go.
Should anything be off-limits in comedy? Kara and Nayeema discuss this question, and the recent Dave Chappelle SNL monologue, before Kara’s interview with our guest today: writer-comedian Eric Idle who is an OG in the craft. When he and his fellow sketch artists launched Monty Python on the BBC in 1969, it was unclear whether anyone would even watch. Now there are generations of Python fans. Today, Idle talks about what made Monty Python unique and how they pushed the line and the social conversation with their unique brand of humor.
Both avid Twitterers, Kara and Idle also discuss their frustrations with Elon Musk (he’s a noted fan of Monty Python, though Idle is not a fan of Musk). And Idle describes how his recent bout with pancreatic cancer has made him a more accepting person.
