John Cleese
This! Is an ex! …tremely funny episode of The Muppet Show! At least some of us thought so. As is so often the way with these things, John Cleese’s modern shenanigans have given us some mixed feelings about him, but he was at his prime here and his comic sensibility wasn’t at all a stretch for the Muppets, leaving no souls lost. You don’t have to pirate this episode, listen now!
