Thu Jun 01 2000 at 17:53:57 The story of Monty Python begins in the hallowed halls of Britain s most illustrious seats of learning - the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
All of the British Pythons began their comedy careers in the revue shows put on by university societies, such as the Cambridge Footlights. Beyond the Fringe star Jonathan Miller
Undergraduate revues attracted an audience beyond the college walls in the 1960s - thanks in part to the success of Oxbridge old boys Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett. The quartet s celebrated 1960 show Beyond the Fringe had concentrated attention on the comic talents yet to come down from the two respected institutions.

From one Brooks, how many rivers flow?
There’s a bit of trivia about the filmmaker, who turns 95 on Monday, that I often turn over in my head.
On an episode of Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show,” Carl Reiner said that the two funniest people he knew were Brooks and a 16-year-old kid named Albert Einstein. Einstein, whose parents, of course, were comedians, later changed his last name to Brooks and became an accomplished director and writer in his own right. Whether or not it was a tribute, Albert Brooks and all comedic filmmakers including a quite different Brooks, James L. are toiling in the erstwhile Melvin Kaminsky’s shadow.
