I will never look at this community the same way knowing how many of you plebs haven’t watched Monty Python. This is some Shaq level discourse right here

Lol. John Cleese is both unknown and also practically Hitler.
It's actually kind of sickening, to be honest. It's like not knowing who Bach was.

Just want to let you know that not knowing who John cleese is doesn't mean I haven't watched or heard of Monty Python. I have watched monty Python but I have never heard of John cleese and have no idea who he is. Even after reading this thread.
Is he the director of Monty Python? An actor in the movie? Both?

He is one of the actors (the most famous one) who make up the comedy troupe that is Monty Python.
This is him

He is basically the founder of the group, along with
Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Graham Chapman — and an American, Terry Gilliam
He played headless Nick in the Harry Potter movies. He played Q in a couple of James Bond movies I believe. I think he voiced Fiona's dad in the Shrek movies.
He did a ton in the 80's and some into the 90's. But in the 00's he kind of withdrew, so not surprised some folks don't really recognize him.
This his a few of his roles in Monty Python:

John Cleese makes me laugh. Bill Cosby used to make us all laugh and then...
But John Cleese continues to make me laugh even if he is not 'relevant' or whatever ya'll want to call him. Cleese... TAKE NOTE!

I wonder if its him or someone tweeting for him. But if his last wish is to see the jazz win a championship, I'm all for it.
John Cleese has done everything from David Lo Pan in Big Trouble in Little China, to Driving Miss Daisy, to the cellmate in The Green Mile, to Magic Mike, to Field of Dreams. It's amazing he isn't a household name.
