Ok, this is an odd question, but any chance that you were at a Grateful Dead show at Giants Stadium in NJ circa 1993-1995? I thought I saw you sitting outside on top of a huge rolled up tarp besides one of the bay doors going into the stadium before one of the shows. I was so convinced it was you I was almost going to walk up and say something to be sure, but I ultimately decided that it had to just be someone who looked like you because why would the guy from MST3K be at a Grateful Dead show in NJ. Since I was watching a lot of MST3K at the time and I was at a Grateful Dead show I just figured my mind was playing tricks on me and by the time I found my friend who was also a fan to see what he thought the guy was gone. Just 1 of those little things that always bothered me as the guy really looked like you, so figured since you were doing an AMA this might be the only time I’d get a chance to ask you!

Otherwise, thanks for making me laugh. My early 20s was basically making sure I was home by midnight to catch MST3K on Comedy Central so my roomate and I could smoke a bowl, eat some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and laugh our asses off for 2 hours. To this day “Huzzah!” still makes me laugh out loud!

TL;DR I thought I saw Joel Hodgson at a Grateful Dead show.

Mr. Gilliam, thank you for making some of my favorite movies of my lifetime.

1) Do you have any input or control over how your movies are re-released for home viewing? Just curious if we'll ever see a well packaged blu-ray box set of your films with some new extras other than some of the bare bones releases currently on the market.

2) Do you have any good Graham Chapman stories that maybe we haven't heard? Do you think he would have been open to the Monty Python reunion if he was still alive?

What's a lesser known movie from your career that you think more people should see?
