More DescriptionFrom the 1970s cult TV show, Monty Python's Flying Circus, to the hit musical Spamalot, the Monty Python comedy team have been at the center of popular entertainment. The original show and movies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and The Meaning of Life, have revolutionized both comedy and moviemaking. The talents of John Cleese, Eric Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, as well as the animation wizardry of Terry Gilliam, are recognized for their creativity and their impact on the way we now see the world.
