John Cleese, one of the founders of the the comedy troupe Monty Python’s Flying Circus, the star of TV’s Fawlty Towers, and countless other comedic roles has a new one up his sleeve.  Cleese confirmed to The Times of London that he plans to write a history of stage, film, and TV comedy - from silent classics to sitcoms like The Office.

It’s the first time in recent months we’ve heard from Cleese after his character on NBC’s Will and Grace was written off after being Karen’s quickie husband.  Cleese told the Times, “I’m too tired to write new comedy.  I can never do better than the Fawlty Towers whatever I do.
