The Graham Norton Show John Cleese about his mother

[ColinNeeson]

I’m a big fan of Cleese. When my mum died and was cremated, my first comment when i picked up her ashes was “she’s lost a lot of weight”. The look on their faces was priceless. She would have laughed.

"He never wanted to be liked, and that was what made him so hilarious..."- Eric Idle on John Cleese

[fpp]

Seeing John Cleese's body language and laughter during Swift's stories makes me like him even more. He looked interested, payed attention and laughed genuinely.

He seems to be one of those people that brightens up any room he is in.

“This was after she died” I can’t mate 😂

"That was after she died." Wit in five words!

[Crosbyhyg]

I lost it at "nearby silent horses"

"Who do you want on the show next week Graham?"
"Oh, I don't care, just get the three tallest people who are in town."

John Cleese mother was called Muriel and lived to be 101. She lived in three centuries from 1899 to 2000 through the whole of the 20th century.

John’s mom sounds like Sybil’s mother in law!

I wish they were young forever, we needed more Monty Python than there is ... Could cure world's depression

"nearby silent horses"

John Cleese's mother could see Thestrals.

I like that Cleese so notices others- he listens, he reads to them, he looks for their reaction - and he seems to like Taylor Swift, want her appreciation. And she is charmed by him. The interaction is charming.

This was recomended by youtube for no reason and i loved it.
john cleese is a world treasure with his unique savage dark humor

[iainjames]

John Cleese has always has a knack for listing things in a hilarious way. Parrot Sketch, anyone? Cheese Shop? Even his Bafta acceptance speech for A Fish Called Wanda...

3:18 - now THERE'S a talk show host. He actually knew the material so well, he knew it better than the person who wrote the book! Look of pride at the end is well-earned, sir. Fallon, Kimmel, et al. could learn a lesson or three from this.

Lovin' Cleese's relating of "omniphobia": "whinnying horses, nearby silent LMFAO too much!

[marvinmeeker]

My favorite part that he ever played was as a sheriff in the film SILVERADO 1985. It was the perfect comic relief for a western!

[nalk]

"she lived through the first world war, Great Depression, rise of Hitler and Stalin, second world war, atomic bombs, foundation of Israel, cold war, space age..." No wonder his mom felt down occasionally. :)

Another fantastic Graham Norton show. He gets these guests who are FULL of personality, puts them on his sofa, and sits back to see what comes out. In this clip we have three people who are full of anecdotes and mannerisms and then sits back and lets them make his show unforgettable. These three are hilarious.

[raehalls]

I LOVE HIM!!! He's so funny, forever my number one dinner party guest
