Eric Idle here. I've brought John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin with me. We are Monty Python. AUA.

I'm a lumberjack, am I ok?

No. You're fucked mate.

Is it true that Matt Stone & Trey Parker from South Park were integral in spurring you to reunite? (h/t to Christian O'Connell for the question)

No. They are arrogant little twerps trying to get cheap publicity off our backs.

I seem to recall several of you saying in interviews that Python could never get back together, because it wouldn't be Python without Graham. What changed?

Graham came back but he didn't want to do the show.

What is one thing none of you will ever do?

Live forever

When I was in elementary school, I used to sneak out of my room to watch reruns of Monty Python late night on PBS, much to my mother's annoyance. Six year old me had a crush on Eric because I had decided that he looked the best in a dress. I'm pretty sure that this warped me for life, so thanks for that. Who of the troupe do you think played the best female characters? Any particular favorites?

Me because I had the best legs

Which one of you enjoyed dressing up as a woman the most?

Carol Cleveland

Some of my first clear memories are watching Monty Python with my parents. I grew up on you guys. That being the case, I'm a girl and I always wondered, since you're an all male comedic group, you must have found at least some women funny. Who are your favorite female comedians that might, just might, have been worthy of Monty Python?

Gilda Radner. Sarah Silverman is quite a dish.

which Terry is the good Terry?

Neither.

Are you surprised by which of your bits have remained the most popular over time?

Yes I'm surprised at it all.

Who is your favorite modern comedian, and why?

Dylan Moran

Which of you is the worst to work with?

I am. I'm also the worst to sleep with.

Terry Jones - any chance we'll get to see you stark naked playing the piano again? There's a large market for that.

Edit: For anyone interested

Terry Gilliam is playing that role now

What's the #1 thing you guys are always fighting over?

The Daily Mail.

What is your favourite of each other's individual work?

I love Ripping Yarns.

Hello, all! My question is, was there ever a sketch or song that you wrote, either for an episode or movie, that you didn't use because it seemed too extreme, even for you?

The wee wee sketch.

For the reunion show, will we see all old or new material?

You'll see nothing if you dont come

Carol Cleveland. For those who don't know, she's in a lot of Python's work. How did the relationship form with her? Was there ever talk of making her a Python? How many of you slept with her? Just kidding.

All of us slept with her, and half the audience

[deleted]

Not really.

One of my favourite lines from the Life of Brian is "He is not the Messiah! He is a very naughty boy! Now go away!" can you tell me your favourite line from any of your work?

Say no more.

If all of you were stranded on a island, who would you eat first? And how quickly would it come to that?

Carol Cleveland.

Two questions:

How often do you guys watch your own work?

And what did you think of Spamalot?

Never. Except for Spamalot which I see a lot and love.

[deleted]

I'd do the Six Samurai.

Is it daunting approaching a reunion of something that so many people treasure, with the worry you could screw up your legacy?

I hope we will.

What is your favourite sketch/skit that you've written in your careers?

The Galaxy song

Will Graham's urn be making another appearance?

Graham's ashes were finally sent into space on a rocket at the millenium.

Between all of you, who would you say is the funniest?

Also thank you Mr Cleese for being a constant inspiration in my life.

Edit: I'm honoured that I get 2 replies!

I am the funniest and I am a constant inspiration in Mr Cleese's life.

What beer will you be drinking later?

Fullers

So, Carol Cleveland, yay or nay?

Edit: As in "Is she part of this reunion?" not in any other way.

Edit Edit: Can't force you to not answer other possible interpretations though.

Edit Edit Edit: Screw ambiguity.

Carol is part of the reunion. She'll be playing the part of Carol Cleveland.

Do you think you're going to have as much fun this time round?

As when?
