What you might have missed is my sarcasm when responding to the lunatic that used to find Cleese funny years back and therefore will give him a watch as a result.
Cleese has been as funny as Henry for a good while now.
I didn’t and probably won’t bother now after hearing the review!Did you see Hold the Sunset? Written by and starring John Cleese - 2 seasons in 2018 and 2019 and was dropped. It wasn't funny and reviewers called it "clunky" "dated" and "embarrassing". That was a BBC series - since then oddly enough he claims to have been cancelled by the Beeb - maybe he can't cope with the fact that comedy has moved on since Flowery Twats

You've got to be mentally sharp to keep up with comedy and satire. It’s no coincidence that not many comics do big tours after they’re 50.
Then, when your comedy misses the mark, you need to say more and more outlandish things to stay in the spotlight.The fact you and millions didn't says it all - I lasted one and a half shows..... it was like Spike Milligan in Curry and Chips - making gags that were just past their sell by date.
I would guess that having 3 divorces to pay for means you are desperate to keep earning into your 80's - wouldn't mind betting Peter Kay who has been off the circuit for a while has a bank balance not dissimilar to Cleese who probably had to sign over a lot of royalty earnings to ex's

And on that bombshell…And before you know where you are you are presenting a fake Top Gear on a streaming channel
It's the same as most art. The only difference is that unlike musicians, comedians can't generally get away with making shitloads of money touring material for 30 or 40 years ago, so they have to stay good at writing.I didn’t and probably won’t bother now after hearing the review!
