The new book, The Spamalot Diaries, is available now! The book tells the inside story of what it took to bring Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Broadway as the unlikely theatrical hit Spamalot, as told through actual diaries from the legendary comic performer, founding member of Monty Python, and New York Times bestselling author Eric Idle.Idle recently chatted with MSNBC about the book in an appearance yesterday, where he shared more about what fans can expect."They are diaries I kept during rehearsal, and I found them two years ago when I was moving house," he shared. "I showed them to my wife, and she thought they were fantastic. They're interesting, because they tell the story before you know you've got a hit. The show doesn't just come together, there are a lot of creative forces clashing."Check out the full video here!About The Spamalot DiariesOn March 17, 2005, Spamalot debuted on Broadway to rapturous reviews for its star-studded creative team, including creator Eric Idle, director Mike Nichols, and stars Hank Azaria, David Hyde Pierce, Sara Ramirez, John Cleese, Christopher Sieber and more.

Logo text Sarah Polley‘s Women Talking features a large ensemble of accomplished and award-winning actresses, so it would not have been a surprise to see one (or several) take the stage Thursday at the Palm Springs Film Awards, where Polley was honored with a director of the year prize. But instead it was Eric Idle, the Monty Python star, who presented Polley with her award. His appearance was especially profound for Polley as it provided a public reunion for the two co-stars from Terry Gilliam’s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. “About 34 years ago, I was on the set of a movie in Rome and I said farewell to a little girl of 8 who starred in the movie,” Idle said. “We had all been scarred on this movie … going on nine months before we’d been able to escape.” Idle called some of the scenes “life-threatening.” It has come to light that the 1988 film was a traumatic experience for many involved and particularly for the young Polley. Based on the picaresque, 18th century tale of an eccentric, over-imaginative German aristocrat, the film is among Gilliam’s most opulent confections, replete with baroque, visibly expensive set pieces. Polley recounted the behind-the-scenes ordeal in her book, Run Towards the Danger, writing that “blasts of debris exploded on the ground around me, accompanied by deafening booms that made me feel as if I myself had exploded. A log I was to run under was partially on fire. The gigantic blasts continued and shook everything around me. I ran, terrified, straight into the camera, tripping over the dolly tracks. It didn’t seem possible that this could have been the plan, that things hadn’t just gone terribly wrong. But they hadn’t. This was the plan.” Idle said from the stage that they hadn’t seen each other since they left the set until a month and a half ago when Polley “walked through my front door.” She subsequently invited him to the premiere of Women Talking, and he said he had a front-row seat to see her grace, generosity and strength of character as she invited the entire ensemble — actors like Frances McDormand, Claire Foy, Rooney Mara, Jessie Buckley, Judith Ivey, Emily Mitchell, Kate Hallett, Liv McNeil, Sheila McCarthy, Michelle McLeod, Kira Guloien, Shayla Brown, Ben Whishaw and others — to the stage while introducing key members of the crew. “She knew how to lead,” Idle said. “Women Talking is an incredible piece of work.” In addition to Polley, Thursday night’s honorees included Cate Blanchett (Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actress), Viola Davis (Chairman’s Award), Austin Butler (Breakthrough Performance Award, Actor), Danielle Deadwyler (Breakthrough Performance Award, Actress), Colin Farrell (Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor), Michelle

Eric Idle Wonders Why His R-Rated Christmas Song Isn’t Doing Better on SpotifyIt’s that special time of year when holiday music gets played 24/7, to the joy of Christmas fanatics, and the existential horror of every single person working in the customer service industry.But while we’ll no doubt be hearing a lot of Mariah Carey, Bing Crosby and (shudder) Jimmy Fallon this year, one name that hasn’t become synonymous with holiday music is Eric Idle.The Monty Python star recently alluded to this fact on social media, bemoaning that Spotify has seen a spike in streams for Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” but not his own seasonal track. Of course, that could have something to do with the fact that Idle’s holiday song features the less than savory title: “Fuck Christmas.”You see, unlike other classic Yuletide tunes, which generally celebrate the spirit of the season, Idle’s song is nearly two full minutes of vitriolic Christmas hate,...See full article at Cracked12/5/2024CrackedSimilar NewsJimmy Fallon (I)Joan Baez Delightfully Derails First Night of ‘Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney’3/13/2025CrackedGwyneth Paltrow Dubbed “An Intimidating Girlfriend” By Ex-bf Donovan Leitch’s Sister Ione Skye: “Wasn’t Ready For Anything Too Serious”3/13/2025by Ankita MukherjeeKoiMoiSelena Gomez Sells Her Custom Diamond Ring For This Mere Amount In Romantic Countdown To New Album With Fiance Benny Blanco!3/13/2025by Arunava ChakrabartyKoiMoiMariah CareyAriana Grande Looks Forward to ‘Brighter Days Ahead’ in Short-Film Trailer3/12/2025by Larisha PaulRollingstone.comiHeartRadio Music Awards 2025: Performers List Revealed, Including Taylor Swift (With a Catch)3/12/2025by Just JaredJust JaredPaul McCartney (I)Spinal Tap II: The End Continues Teaser
