Cleese’s actual wife, Connie Booth, was a)American, b)the co-creator of the show, and c)divorced Cleese in between the two seasons of the show. People don’t seem to talk about that much.

In spite of the fact that I think the original series had only one truly great episode, I really hope Cleese gets these new episodes finished before he croaks. He’s getting up there. (And the cancel culture crowd haven’t been too happy with him in recent years, either, and he’s fired back at them more than a few times.)
