Yeah, it's been clear from everything I've read that the SNL people really, really tried to save Farley after what happened with Belushi.

Yeah, Spade didn't come off well in the book in general. The story about how Farley was basically forced into doing BLACK SHEEP because Spade and his writing buddy wanted an easy paycheck kinda stung.

Caputo begins a torrid affair with the returning Miss Claudette.

I wonder if they'll touch on Zeppo's wife leaving him for Frank Sinatra.

They all got their clocks cleaned by a lawsuit over SPAMALOT by one of the HOLY GRAIL producers who sued for a percentage of the profits, and won. They were upfront about the fact that the O2 shows were done, in part, to pay this guy off.

Yeah, Cleese told a story about their tours in the 70's where the audience would sit completely silently during each sketch and then burst into huge applause at the end, then immediately fall silent when the next sketch started.

I wasn't picking on him; as you said, Cleese is quite open about why he does it - I was joking that Idle must be in the same boat.

Yes, I saw Eric Idle Exploits Monty Python back in 2001, I believe.

How many divorces does Eric Idle have to pay off?

One of the things I found most interesting about that season was the fact that Doumanian has said that she was yanked so fast because advertisers were still being charged the same rates for this iteration of the show, with a completely unknown cast, as they were for the peak years with the superstar cast, and they…

This makes the show look like a zippy fun sexy time, instead of the dreary slog every episode of season 2 turned out to be.

Yeah, the recurring motif in Farley's life was,

The stuff in that book about his relationship with his dad was the clearest case of "Well, that's why THAT happened" I've ever seen.

"They told me that I, James Frey, was the only person who could save the galaxy, because I was so wise and handsome, but first I had to have a space transmitter put into my head, which I had them do without anesthetic."

This just brings me ever closer to my dream of a Jost-Che playset. Personality and joke-telling ability sold separately.

My Jim Breuer Goat Boy action figure was getting lonely.

At last, I can continue the adventures of BABY MAMA in my own home!

I loved his performance of this in "Homage to Steve", with Henry Winkler dancing in the background, holding cardboard cutouts of the pyramids.

You got to be a wise shopper these days.
