John Cleese Introduces Tina Turner

From Hysteria 2. Sorry the space wasn't left there to keep the song in but this is the unique bit.

How ahead of his time his humour was! Two National Treasures on stage together. Thanks for posting this gem

[@jphalsberghe1]

Now, he would be cancelled and shamed. He was viciously attacked for stating the obvious that London was not more the London he had known. That being said, he was/is the greatest of alll

[@nstix2009xitsn]

@@jphalsberghe1 But he chickened out by denying what he had obviously meant, that it was no longer White, and thus no longer English, even though he was too old for anyone to cancel him.

[@jphalsberghe1]

@@nstix2009xitsn Did he? Every one knew that he meant that the London he knew as a child was white, and now it is ''coloured'' but ssstttt don not speak out the words ''great replacement'' what that is exactly whats going on till the powder kegs will explode. You ask me when? Soon!

Read John's (most excellent) autobio recently. It would appear that he eventually got over his adolescent uncertainty around members of the opposite sex.

[@mikeoak5289]

Well, I don't know. He couldn't stay married very long. I know one of his wives flirted with other men, but she was the only one I met. They are divorced now too. His autobiography omitted all of his romantic life after his first love. He could have been unsuccessfully trying to fill that hole in his soul from then on.

[@Apuleius_]

@@mikeoak5289 His autobiography only went up to 1969, when he was still on his first marriage. He's working on another volume.
