I know this is a page for questions to Jim, but how did you see Monty Python on Jimmy Fallon? They've been disbanded for many, many years and the remaining members have said that they will never regroup as Monty Python. Did he just play an old clip? Was it something from Spamalot? :confused:
John Cleese, Eric Idle, and two of the other original members ACTUALLY reunited on Fallon last night! It was INCREDIBLE! I highly recommend Hulu-ing it! It was hilarious, fantastic television.

Yea watch the whole show from start to finish it was pure gold! I laughed so hard, tears where really comming out of my eyes.

On a side note I really think Jimmy Fallon is doing a good job hosting late night.

I have (another) question! I'm doing an assignment on hedonism, post-modernism and consumer over-consumption behaviour...and I couldn't help thinking of a certain pig from time to time. Do you think Miss Piggy represents over-consumption (in terms of clothes and shoes...not food specifically)? And do the Muppets represent post-modernism (the 'be yourself' age of reasoning)? Just some thoughts there...

I have one more question for Jim:

I have been watching SNL Seasons one and two and I was wondering if the Muppet news man was based on Cheve Chase doing the Weekend update?

Another question for you, Jimmy Jim...
Are you pumped for Sesame Street's 40th Anniversary? I know you're not involved at all, but as a fan are you excited?
