People, People Who Like Python ...

... or people who like telebision, for that matter, may want to know the following.
Those of you who (like me) have cancelled your season pass for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon might want to record Wednesday night. Jimmy's guests will include, it says, "Monty Python."
And Thursday morning, the guest list on Live with Regis and Kelly includes John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin. There's also something about them on theToday show on NBC but I don't know if it's an appearance or just a news item or what. (Odd that they're not turning up on Letterman. Or maybe they are with a surprise Top Ten list or something...)
All of this is a prelude to the Python Reunion in New York on Thursday night and the debut of the six-hour documentary, Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer's Cut), which debuts on IFC on Sunday night. In fact, IFC is running a mess of Python films over the next week or so: Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian and Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl.
Set your VCRs or TiVos or what not for the heart of the sun.Could've done w/o most of the animation in the show, ourself.
