  • Eric Idle, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill & the Rolling Stones. Oh man I would have killed to be at that party!
  • @Sueloveschoc
    Oh yeah, I can see that - Colbert as King Arthur and John Oliver as the Frenchman who insults him.

    Always Look on the Bright side of Life, played at my dad's funeral, played at my mum's funeral and it will be played at mine.
  • @DerickSnow
    This should have been a one hour segment. What a fantastic person he is.
  • @wratched
    Eric Idle and Carrie Fisher? I would have paid to listen to that conversation.
  • @dulynoted2427
    This man brought some of most deep gut laughter I’ve ever had throughout my teenage years til now. Truly inspiring
  • @Theomite
    Until that photo, I have literally never before seen any evidence that Harrison Ford was capable of being that happy.
  • @greyforge27
    I'd say Eric Idle's the best Python if the rest of them weren't also the best Python
  • @jaymitchell7778
    Sit on my Face without hesitation! I guess he remembered when they sang Always Look At The Bright Side of Life during Graham Chapman’s memorial. I hope Stephen gets Michael Palin up next, he has a new book as well!
  • @jonnnyren6245

    The first time I saw the holy grail I had to watch it again the next day because I was laughing so hard the first time through I missed half the jokes! Thank you, Brave Sir Robin, and the rest of Python, for all the laughs!
