More interesting Python info:
Lorne Michaels met Chevy Chase in line at the L.A. premiere of Monty Python & the Holy Grail. The two struck up a conversation, and Michaels hired Chase as a writer for his upcoming late night comedy series, Saturday Night Live.
The Pythons were considering doing something for the 30th anniversary of their series in 1999, after a successful appearance at the Aspen comedy festival. This special, which aired on HBO, was memorable for an "appearance" by the late Graham Chapman, in which an urn supposedly containing his ashes was brought out on stage with the five other Pythons. At one point, a relaxed Terry Gilliam crossed his legs, and knocked the urn over, spilling the ashes. A "butler" then came out from the wings, and cleaned the mess up with a dust buster!
Ultimately, the Pythons scrapped plans for a proposed movie or tour, knowing it wouldn't be the same without Graham Chapman.
