To commemorate Monty Python's iconic 40th anniversary seems a tad conventional, according to its ensemble member Michael Palin who feels that,'We should have had the 37th anniversary or the 41½ anniversary; 40 seems too predictable for Python," he tells USA Today.

Monty Python member and SPAMALOT creator Eric Idle appeared on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and performed the classic 'Always Look At The Bright Side Of Life' with Late Night house band the Roots.

Monty Python founding members John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin will gather for a reunion event at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City on October 15, according to published reports.
