Eric Idle told the 'Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend' podcast that money is to blame for his "very bad argument" with John Cleese over Monty Python.

“We always loathed and despised each other, but it’s only recently that the truth has begun to emerge.” — John Cleese referring to Eric Idle on X.

The Python style of comedy is much bigger than punchlines. It’s all at once bizarre, class-clowny, ridiculous and bold — qualities that come naturally to an actor who once played a talking sponge.
