Sorry, Chewing Gum and Fleabag! John Cleese says British comedy ceased to exist in the mid-aughts.
The famously curmudgeonly Monty Python member recently argued that bureaucracy killed British comedy, telling audiences at Bristol’s Slapstick Festival that “there has been nothing funny since The Office.” “The people in charge have no idea how to make comedy happen,” Cleese said. “The whole process (of making a comedy show) has been replaced by a bureaucratic process which does not begin to work.”
Over on this side of the pond, former Saturday Night Live star Michael Longfellow quashed rumors that he auditioned for a spot on “Weekend Update.” According to a Redditor who says they were in attendance at Longfellow’s weekend gig in New York City, the comedian took audience questions about his departure from Saturday Night Live and clarified that he never actually screen-tested for “Weekend Update.”
We can, however, confirm the rumors that these tweets are absolutely hysterical. Today’s funniest include those about “rantch,” Donald Trump’s new look and Spotify DMs.
