this is really all that's left for these guys to get any publicity: a health scare, it's like one of their bits. when they took David Niven's fridge on tour
This entire story was only possible in the USA, not the UK, Canada, or Australia. From learning about pancreatic cancer from going with his doctor to a Dodger's game, to going for a "routine" checkup including a contrast-MRI, to admission for surgery at Cedars-Sinai under a pseudonym within 10 days. If you're one of the 92% of Americans with insurance, it's the best healthcare system in the world.
Individually, Idle, Cleese, Chapman, Palin, Jones and Gillium are among the funniest comedians of all time. But collectively? Python was untouchable. Greatest comedy troupe in the history of the sport. It's as simple as this; the world is a funnier place with Eric Idle in it.
Very lucky. Of course “his doctor” will be in private practice. Most people (using the NHS) will only find out too late, as my friend's wife did, after going to the doctor three times to say she felt unwell. The NHS doesn’t routinely screen for this; in fact when you’re over 75 you are rather 'abandoned', e.g. you are no longer sent test kits for bowel cancer.
She turns her body away from Eric out of respect. This is a king of comedy and she doesn't want to intrude into his time with Graham. Remember, Eric wasn't there for the start of the show, and only came on set for this short 7 minute interview. So she wants Eric to shine, not her.
Idle claims he has to still work at 80 yrs old as his income “isn’t much” yet he sells a house in Hollywood Hills for $6.5m!! These people live on a different planet to the rest of us eh.
Context - Eric has been married twice. He still continues to pay money to his first wife Lyn Ashley and to his son he had with her Carey. Eric would never leave them penniless. Second, he pays a whopping income tax bill every year which is why he needs to sell property. That sale wasn't going to his bank account, it went to pay off the income tax and also debts created due to the financial demise of theaters. So without context, you read that story and think he is greedy. In fact out of that $6.5 million, he probably will receive 5% of it after the debts have been cleared. Yes, $325,000 but no where near the top figure. All of this was from information gained from people who worked with Eric. So context, before slamming the man.
I had no idea Mr Idle went through this, but am extremely happy they caught it in the early stages, and were able to treat and remove it. I had a very dear friend pass from pancreatic cancer in 2021, and it was devastating.., still is. 😢💔
My mother-in-law, Jean, passed from pancreatic cancer. She was with us on Christmas Day for opening gifts and an early dinner. On December 28 she woke up feeling like shit and her neighbor took her to the Emergency Room. She was admitted and we were called. We met her at about 5:00 pm and soon after we arrived in her room, the doctor came in and asked us to leave. Jean said, no, this is my family and they need to hear what you have to say. The doctor said, very well, you have pancreatic cancer, it's advanced, and we can't fix it. Basically, you're dying in many more words. She went into palliative care, which is where they do everything they can to keep terminal patients comfortable, and from there it was hospice, where they prepare you, and your family, for your death. She passed on February 5th.
Eric has one hell of a sense of humour. I laughed and cried at the same time
I find it funny how eric did a beatles song considering his past with the beatle George Harrison and doing a beatles parody.
4:45 Tennant knew immediately 😂
God was like “this is a python? oh ho he likes irony! Heh heh, watch this.” 😅
Life's a piece of Shit, when you look at it.
bloody legend😁👍
Great vid, What, if any, are the symtoms ?

Nobody survives pancreatic cancer, nobody. Eric Idle actually died and what you are seeing is the latest in British Entertainment AI...
Jamie Lee Curtis is so annoying
Thanks Jess. Good clip. 👍
❤❤❤Eric❤❤❤
You lucky lucky
One of the few national treasures, deserving of the title!
Eric Idle is one of those irritating people who doesn't seem to age!
God bless
Another good reason to admire Eric Idle 💖
Did Loretta ever have babies?
Bloody fantastic.

Lost the kids mother to it - she was 50, dead in a month. It's definitely the "silent killer"
He sang quite well I thought :-) th-cam.com/video/rrfcPn9YJEc/w-d-xo.html

Jamie Lee Curtis is always serving.
"Biggus Dickkus" "Mr. Silas Ramsbottom" so juvenile so me 😂.
My husband also was diagnosed very early with pancreatic cancer, took him1 1/2 years to die!
Eric Idle - THE LEGEND!
This is cool. The thumbnail shows what it would look like if Jamie Lee Curtis had no arms.
Eric is one of the most sweetest men in the world. He is my favourite python.
Wow he looks so wonderful for a man his age and maybe you shouldn’t do drugs and alcohol. Or like yourself.
He still looks so young.😊
Jamie's body language is odd. The voice & face is all.. yes, kiss, lovey, etc. then sits down & her WHOLE body faces David. Weird 🤔🤨🙄

Who are the other guests?

Oh My God! ERIC IDLE KILLED KENNY!
"Can we have your pancreas then?" 😅 I think he'd appreciate the joke. In all seriousness glad he's okay.
My father had it. 10 hours on the operating table. 5 years on still going strong
Love Tim in Monty Python, and the rutles and as a kid I remember watching Transformers the movie and he did a voice.
Eric is truly an icon in so many ways.
My mom had pancreatic cancer back in 2009 she's almost 15 years remission
Who ????? Billy is the Idol !!!
I fart in your general direction 💨🥴😆

They've killed Kenny !! You bastards!!!!

But doesn't Eric surviving pancreatic cancer ruin the premise of his play.............!?
No time to lose!
