Saw John in person and met him a second time in NJ a few days ago. He is truly a treasure and a lovely gentleman. (And I actually made him laugh, so my life is now complete...)
Me jealous? Why should I be jealous? I've never been jealous at all.
Ladies and gentlemen, this man is the definition of Living Legend. There will never be a genius like this ever again.
John Cleese is a legend .
soon he will become a myth
cleese any tears for abort killing babies with your vote no respect for life your a dam hypocrite liberal trash
And then some
i know
Not
To be called "silly" by a Python is the highest honor any comic can receive......
Exquisite Corpse that’s true!!!
I think that Colbert was very aware of that!

You two deserve each other!
"He doesn't trust anyone in charge of a democracy." BRILLIANTLY TRUE.
AMEN!!
Commander? Cleese speaking about Trump, *absolutely on the money....
Why did the audience boo that comment?
Bamse Bamse
Because they blindly follow and defend their leader. American pride.
@@bamsebamse7075 Because none of them have covid, but that is becoming a shrinking minority.
I would still call him Commander Cleese.
Cheese :-)
All hail Lord Cheese
mdl n dear god yes
“Who’s that then?”
“I dunno, must be a king.”
“Why?”
“He hasn’t got shit all over him.”
That name is kind of grating on me.
Cleese and Buckethead 2020
More-extended interview needed here CBS. Lord Cheese is an icon.
One of my favorite interviews so far. Very endearing.
I wish John Cleese could stay with us forever and also become Sir John Cleese, he is an international icon :)
No Cleese must never accept an honour. Fuck em all. That's not what honours are all about.
I guess he isn't the type that's true, but like he said he didn't get one because 'he is too naughty' haha yeah he doesn't need it just its a shame he never got offered, especially now he is older.
Radical Dame it's like the rock and roll Hall of Fame
Inducting madona,lost all credibility
Yeah but Billy connolly got knighted so its fair game mate lol both comedians and loved internationally and both naughty.
Radical Dame wasn't Jimmy Seville knighted or something.
With Cleese don't interrupt him, just let him talk.
"i only have one thing in my bucket list, and that is never to be cold again" - RESPECT. come to brazil, John! ;)
There are soon no trees left to sit under...
For this, you don't need to leave Europe. In Andalusia, or the southcoast of Crete, it's warm enough. And if you need more... Well the Canaries are at last every time of the year, warm enough. Btw. I think, he don't like the asshole- bastard, you Jerks elected for Prez last time...!
That was not enough time for this legend!
0:53 That moment when a member of Monty Python calls you silly.
I see John Cleese, and I click.
MythicTyrant You are a simple man.
Click to HEE HAW reruns no doubt...
Yes
ok
Mythic tyrant just like the orange bafoon tyrant.
He should’ve got the award for the Knight that says “Ni” Lord Cheese, Not a good fit, well played
As always, on point and relevant. Funny, too.
Wow, someone actually died laughing during the showing of A Fish Called Wanda, that is going to be hard to top for someone like John Cleese.
Someone also died while making a phone call. My broadband bill keeps rising.
Happened to someone watching the Goodies as well .
There are two scenes which I've seen in theaters where I almost passed out from laughing. I guess if I had a heart condition I could have died.
The first was in Naked Gun (yes I saw this when it came out) when Lt. Drebin is in the car with a student and the perfectly cast driving instructor John Houseman says very calmly "Normally we would not be driving 65 [MPH] down the wrong way of a one way street."
The second was Bruno when Bruno talks about his sex life and how it's very "vanilla" and then shows an almost X-rated scene of the most bizarre gay sex ever.
@@TheHonkster7 , pretty sure that was sketch involving Bill Oddie wrestling with a set of bagpipes. Bill Oddie quit comedy shortly after. king1eye.blogspot.com/2017/04/thursday-goodies-death-by-laughter.html
No reply.
Having seen him on a ton of talk shows, it's so clear how much Cleese likes Colbert. He can be crotchety and difficult if he thinks the interviewer is being sycophantic or banal, but he's so pleasant and friendly with Stephen. A high honor, Colbert.
*Ok if you're gonna cut the clip, don't name it after something you edited out*
Aaron Mijail Herrera Castro quite obnoxious when you watch the clip based on the title.
What a delightful man, long live Lord Cheese!
Cleese being so delighted by Colbert is a wildly complimentary endorsement and it pleases me. They are very silly men indeed.
"Quite agree, quite agree...silly, silly, silly...!" --Graham Chapman's Colonel character
Beautifully put. Agree.
@@toAdmiller You mean Group Captain Biggelow...?
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Well, Group Captain Biggles was another of Chapman's characters, but if his Colonel character ever had a surname, I didn't catch it...
@@toAdmiller Thanks! I saw this RFC- sketch only once, nearly 30 years ago and I didn't remember the name very well. I think, you are right about the Colonel (I never knew, that was a Colonel's uniform. I'm not so familiar with brit. uniforms). There was no name. I liked their military sketches a lot. But a bit more, I liked Rowan Atkinson as Black Adder. Particularly in WWI, it was often a persiflage on Winston Churchill ( I joined the army to fight people in the colonies who attack me with bananas and not to oppose hordes of Germans armed to the teeth ...) Both, Atkinson and Cleese, are people with a clear mind. Atkinson f.e. have 20 points IQ more, than Albert Einstein. A very bright candle...
Greeds from Germany...
Nice.
Clobert helping to mend 🇺🇸 relationship with 🇬🇧
At the end ... the look Cleese had for Colbert was something special. Like the look an older family member has for a talented grandchild, even though they're from entirely separate streams.
Ultimately, old boy, we're family and nothing can change that.
That guy dying of laughter was God making a callback to 'The funniest joke in the world sketch'.
I don't know, but I think that must have been written by Michael Palin and Terry Jones, not John Cleese and Graham Chapman. It has that bizarreness of the famous Palin/Jones sketches like the Spanish Inquisition and the Silly Walks, not the wordy sketches with lots of synonyms like Cleese and Chapman's sketches like the Dead Parrot and the Cheese Shop. So Cleese might not associate much with the Funniest Joke sketch.
Or maybe he had something to do with the second half, the WWII segment. It's aways struck me that the sketch radically changes gears midway.
You're quote is quite funny too!!!🌷🌷🌷
Talking about ..."that guy dying of laughter was a God"!!!😂🤣😷🤣😂
@@pedalcar100 - Question: if God dies, where does his soul go?
You mean the "deadly joke", aren't you...?
An absolute legend of a man and a national treasure.
*universal (plus as stated he doesn't even stay in England for 12 months), he is to they're with the likes of Attenborough, ndt, Gandhi & Mandela
A world treasure.
where does cleese say, Trump is like a "pro wrestler"
I didn't hear it either.
The intern in charge of TH-cam these days constantly gets the titles wrong. With Colbert basically every third video is labeled incorrectly. This is mentioned in the comments all the time but since nobody there reads the comments aka they don't give a shit about this new interweb thing we have to wait for the next intern to take over the job!
He doesn't
click bait
Dammit I should become an intern here haha. We need correct titles.
Should have been a longer interview and the ending was too abrupt. Cmon Stephen, people like John Cleese don’t just turn up every day !
I love the British humor.
cleese any tears for aborted babies with your vote you kill ? . no respect for life you're a dam hypocrite liberal trash. workers of iniquity democrats evil doers in God eyes
What about a pointed stick?
Mary Harry looks a bit scary 😱😵 😱😵 😱
englishgal234 I think he reads
I love this man. He's so lovely and sassy and genuine!
💚John Cleese and Stephen Colbert! 💚 My two favorite funny men from totally different comedic eras. Such a cool guest to have. Kudos, CBS.
Trump reminds me of a kid who can't resist reacting to every perceived slight.
Does he have mind control powers or something? Because almost all his followers are like that too.
Kelkschiz yet he’s a multi-billionaire, the leader of the free world, married to a stunning model and can do anything he wants... maybe it’s you that is failing at life...
Kelkschiz That's rich coming from a grown man that's obsseed with Legos.Let me guess you still live in your Mommies basement?
this person dontknow nothing, it is shame to show how stupid you are
He's a multi-billionaire because he inherited it from his Dad. He's had everything handed to him in life and yet he still managed 6x bankruptcies, a divorce, has cheated on the woman you're referring to numerous times and is a deeply insecure, bigoted individual.
Who on earth would want to be like him?
So pleased to see Mr. Cleese in good health and great humour !
Colbert definitely has a secret degree in British things.
Knowing what a CBE hardly constitutes a degree, or maybe it does there).
@Ad Max Good luck exporting shortbread whiskey and offal to support the families of Scottish people ), oh and welcome your new owners in Brussels, if you think Westminster is bad, you wait!.
@@suzesiviter6083
What a childish grasp on European politics. Hilarious in its ignorance.
@@sandelic1 You dear are just another mindless munter telling people they are wrong without any idea how to handle specifics.
@@suzesiviter6083
Ah, dimwit thinks mindlessly parroting 'owners in Brussels' is somehow handling specifics.
Brought to you by same idiots who brought you Brexit.
So which SCENE was it? Now I gotta know!
1hourOfLove
The same scene where he compared Trump to a pro wrestler.
The third dog scene. It's mentioned in the interview.
Apparently it was the scene that ends up with Michael Palin getting his nose stuffed full of french fries and his mouth stuffed with a pear.
Let's all rewatch it, I'm sure we'll figure it out. 😁 I saw it when I was 12 for the first time, when it came out and I almost died laughing a few times! 😂😂😂
Somehow they must have snuck the "funniest joke in the world" sketch into the movie.
"Commander Cleese" sounds like the best children's show host ever.
New Message or the worst person you'd want to lead you into battle
With the crew of Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy.
He seems to really like Stephen
Also, to the Late Show digital team: every video title doesn't have to be Trump related, especially if you don't intend to keep in the relevant part in the video lol
Yes! There was no mention at all of Trump being like a pro wrestler by Cleese.
They just don't trust him to be in the same room with the Queen.
Who can blame them? :))
What a legend.
Thank you for skipping the applause and cutting straight to the interview, video editor ! Keep it up !
Watched the interview, came to the comment section to find out WHEN THE HELL DID HE SAY DONALD TRUMP IS LIKE A PRO WRESTLER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was wondering the same thing, I even watched it twice... still didn’t hear anything about a pro wrestler.
Late show click bait? But would have watched it any way, because it’s Cleese!
He might have said it in the show and it didn’t make it to the « TH-cam cut ». It has happened before. However I have not seen the entire show this time so I can’t say for sure !
yeah, it was probably edited out, but they forgot to adapt the title they chose... Shit happens -.-
I was just curious if people here actually noticed. Thank dog they do.
After hearing of the man who died watching the movie, I fear for you.
Exactly which scene 😂😂😂😂
I'd say I died laughing, but... context, you know.
Nearly Headless Nick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicholas Borg Your comment made me giggle. It shows your youth a bit. That's the same role my teenage son knows him for. You should check out his older roles. He's hilarious. ✌💚😊
and Basil Fawlty!!!
I knew nearly headless Nick sounded and looked familiar. I've been trying to figure it out for days. Been watching the Harry Potter series with a couple of 7 year old who've never even heard of it before now. After Harry Potter we're watching the original Star Wars trilogy.
John Cleese is not just a national treasure, the man is a universal treasure.
He is such a lovely man! I love listening to his stories ❤️
You should have talked to John longer. I didn't want him to go. So talented and lovely.
Trump reminds me of the kid in your class that thinks he knows everything but actually knows nothing at all..
@anarchisttomato I specialize in the republican party
Jon Snow?
kevinmuehl Muehlkevin
And a bully insecure kid. always picking on smaller and weaker kids, but afraid of anyone that knows a thing or two about him...insert Putin here
I am German and Trump reminds me of....you know who...

Two literal comedy legends. Sublime.
Shae Tallent hooray for bigotry!
THE MAD KING is an original music video you might enjoy: th-cam.com/video/617n8eDEK1M/w-d-xo.html
I love that John Cleese enjoys and respects Stephen as a comedian.
With reference to the Dane who died laughing, I went with my Canadian husband to the first showing in the US of "Now For Something Completely Different". The cinema was packed and I was literally the only person laughing. Everyone else in the audience was stunned into silence. I am English by the way. As we were leaving, I asked my husband what he thought of the film. He said, "Well, it was worth it just to watch you!"
"He doesn't trust anyone in charge of a democracy." #DictatorsOnly #Trump
It's Trump Derangement Syndrome. T.D.S. impacts even the most edgy of comics.
TDS? I don't think he supports Trump, so he can't have TDS
USA is technically a representative democracy.
he like macron, and all the asian democracies, he just dont like west euro politics, like merkel, eveil bitch is the reason brexit happened basically
then the audience were like oooooooo. what is wrong with them? i don't understand the reaction to a obviously true statement.
John Cleese calling you silly is a great compliment
John Cleese is such a brilliant and funny man.
Clearly, Mr. Cleese meant to say Trump doesn't remind him of a pro wrestler. He just left out a word. It could happen to anyone.
Well, pro wrestlers are at least in good shape.
oh he is so sharp!
"I only have one thing on my bucket list and that is never to be cold again."
The older I get, the more I concurr.
I really enjoyed John's episodes of 'Faulty Towers'. If you never seen the show, you need to see it if you are a fan of Lord Cleese!
The deaf old woman, and the discussion of the view.... from the window of a bed and breakfast in TORQUAY... 😂😂😂
The only celebrities I'd like to meet:
1. John Cleese
2. Christopher Hitchens
3. Jason Newsted
4. Mark Hamill
jon Q 1. John Cheese
2. David Attenborough
3. Tom Waits
4. John Hurt
5. Vincent Price
You can cross Hitchens off your list, since he died in 2011.
Hitchens, dead? Are you sure? I simply cannot believe it.
@@jonq8714 (Stolen from John Cleese's eulogy of Graham Chapman) He has ceased to be, bereft of life, he rests in peace, he has kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last, and gone to meet the Great Head of Light Entertainment in the sky, and I guess that we’re all thinking how sad it is that a man of such talent, such capability and kindness, of such intelligence should now be so suddenly spirited away at the age of only sixty-two, before he’d achieved many of the things of which he was capable, and before he’d had enough fun.
"John Cleese Says Trump Reminds Him Of A Pro Wrestler"
Appropriate. He has done that.
The difference is, pro-wrestlers have a script and know they're acting.
Stephen Colbert and John Cleese, so glad you were born! True Living Gifts to all.
I hadn't heard that one about the expiry of the Danish dentist. It reminded me very strongly of what happened to me the first time I was exposed to Monty Python's Flying Circus. Here I was, a rather naïve 22 year old just returned to my home country of the UK after seven years in culturally isolated, insular South Africa. One night, finding myself at a loose end I decided to go to the cinema. One of the films playing was 'And Now for Something Completely Different'. By the time it got to the Parrot Sketch, I was already in trouble. Came the Adventure Tours sketch and I was having great difficulty in breathing. I thought I might have to leave the theatre it became so severe. Fortunately, though, I was young and fit and managed to sit through the entire film. Completely taken by surprise, I had never laughed so much!
John cleese is like everyones cool grandpa
Too short
Yeah why the fuck was this only 6 minutes? Isnt that something they do for lesser known people and not John fucking Cleese?
No he's quite tall.
death by laughter, i immediately thought of the monty python skit of the nazi-killing secret joke, as deaths go, by laughter seems a great way haha
"10.000 times stronger, tha the british, pre- war joke..." And than they showed up, Neville Chamberline, after the Munich, conference of 1938. They allways hitted so hard the british (hypocrite) policy. And for this, they earned titles... Great job!
"Why no 'Sir' John Cleese?"
I think it's best we keep this guy away from castles, Stephen.
See the reaction of Stephen Colbert and the crowd at 4:42.
John Cleese got my respect there. And he didn't even realize he stuck the needle in a subject the Americans are sensitive about.
You nailed it!
IT's funny he should say that. Trump IS in the WWE hall of fame. No seriously.
Trump good friends with vince mcmahon. Hell he has vinces wife in his cabinet...
Actually, Trump contributed to the WWF way before. His plazas were the venues of Wrestlemanias, si
Well, he DID show up a couple of times as a gag, did stuff like slam Vince Mcmahon, move to the side and cheer for himself while the real action went on in the ring...
...just like he always does XD
He and his trumpster fans even used it to insult CNN a while ago, remember? giphy.com/gifs/reactionseditor-trump-wrestling-3ohryCNP6uXSqXAoGA
I think those few moments have been staged so he COULD get the hall of fame entry to begin with... you know, meeting the min. requirement of actually particitpating somehow
Seriously?? I think it makes perfect sense. Wrestling is a giant scam. He fits perfectly!!
anderson op up in
Yet another reason to love John Cleese!
I've watched his comedy for years. Hes a genius
Thanks for the laughter John,you are awesome.
John Cleese is considered too naughty to become a "Sir" but Jimmy Savile was knighted in 1990...
When Cleese dies, 90% of humour dies.
Shut your pretty lie-hole.
No. Not at all true. The man isn't responsible for 90% of the world's humor output, and his and the Pythons' influence is already set in stone.
Because yeah, my comment should be taken absolutely literally.
I don't view numbers figuratively because numbers are concrete. But even taking your statement figuratively results in an untruth, as his legacy is already set. Not even his humor dies with him.
Howard Beale
John Cleese is the last surviving major representative of a certain type of British post-war comedy which started with the Goons then influenced Beyond the Fringe (the early 60s satire "boom") and later on, Monty Python. When he goes, it will put a stop to Python as surely as the death of John Lennon underscored the end of the Beatles.
An old John Cleese quote nails it about Trump and his cabal: "You see, if you're very, very stupid, how can you possibly realize that you're very, very stupid? You'd have to be relatively intelligent to realize how stupid you are."
Love seeing these 2 together.
Love this man!
What a precious man
Blessed are the Cleesemakers
Young people who've never heard of A Fish Called Wanda, PLEASE watch it. It is a comedy masterpiece, possibly the funniest film ever made, yet no one really talks about it anymore. All of the actors are known for more popular things, like Jamie Lee Curtis's horror films, Kevin Kline's dramatic films (despite his Oscar winning comedic performance, which never happens), and everyone else for Monty Python. Please watch it and keep the love for it alive! You honestly owe it to yourself ;)
So what they're saying is that man who died watching his film ceased to be?
He is an ex-Dane
He is totally bereft of life
No no, he's pining for the fjords.
Great, I was wondering about this CBE thing already.... Hillarious....
A fish called wanda is my fav film of all time, time for a 4k release John!
“The leader of the free world, reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks”
I was looking for this quote in the comments
God, I love John Cleese so much!!! Such a brilliant man!!!
I ❤️ you, Commander Cleese!
Wait, his family name used to be Cheese? He could have been Lord Cheese?
Oh, John... Come on! Butter up buttercup! Do it! 😆
Alas. We will have to settle, for Mayor McCheese.
txag07 he grew up 12 miles from the town of Cheddar and his best friend at school was Barney Butter.
The only record of death laughing was because of British Humor. TRuE!
Oh man! I was just about to watch the previous Cleese clip when i found this. I just love John Cleese!
John must really hate cold weather 😀 He makes a comment about that on every talkshow I have seen with him so far.
Comedy genius!!!
Stephen for the love of Christ let the man talk
Two masters of comedy, would love to watch them in an improv scene together.
So great to see you! I loved your spot on Ryan Seacrest's show, and I sure wish you'd said here, what you said there. I have this horrible feeling you didnt feel safe enough to do that, which is horrific to me.
ive never heard of this man but i love him
I envy you geting to discover all of his material for the very first time! Enjoy!
What...? How long you're on earth? Two days...?
John Cleese, a truly wise and funny gentleman!
John Cleese is a National Treasure !! The most self-deprecating man Alice.
The art of making fun of one-s-self. Not taking yourself too seriously. What
a wonderful brilliant man !! It takes a great amount if INTELLECT to be so spontaneously
FUNNY !! Never stop !!
For those of you with a literary bent, Trump most reminds me of Mr. Toad from "The Wind in the Willows."
Except Mr Toad had charm
“ The leader of the free world reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight golden trunks” - Arctic Monkeys. Coincidentally, I believe they performed in the show at the same night.
I wish he was my grandpa
kpingz Me too

Wow, a much better interview than I was expecting. John has been getting pretty crotchety lately and it was nice to see a far funnier man back in his place. Well done!
I am so sad he had to postpone his show here this summer 😭 I was so looking forward to seeing him live
"The Leader of the Free World, Reminds you of a wrestler wearing tight Golden Trunks"
A line from the latest Arctic Monkeys' album, who are the musical guest today! What're the odds?!
I was thinking just that when I saw the video title.. Quite peculiar that both Turner and Cleese see that.
@mike oren Obviously not you, so take your poison elsewhere pal
Wait a second, I watched this all the way through, Cleese talks on a variety of subjects and does talk about Trump briefly, he does not say anything about Trump reminding him of a pro wrestler, nothing at all. Where does the title to this video come from? Trump and the Republican party remind me of pro wrestling, a total farce and completely fake, but it is not in this video.
Yeah I was confused too. I thought maybe I missed it. I clicked on it because of the title
