I am – Hercules!!

To celebrate their 40th anniversary and promote their excellent new six-hour IFC documentary “Monty Python: Almost The Truth” (launching Sunday), the surviving Pythons are in New York.

Tonight they’re the only guests on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” (I'm hopeful Fallon doesn’t make them play beer pong.)

Thursday they’ll reunited again at Manhattan’s Ziegfeld, which you can watch live on IFC.com if you can access a computer.

From a press release:

By visiting IFC.com or PythOnline.com Thursday, October 15 at approximately 9:00 PM EST, audiences across the U.S. can watch the historic event reuniting all five surviving members of the Monty Python team -- John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin -- as they take to the stage for a Q&A discussion with the audience. IFC will produce the live stream in conjunction with UStream, the leading internet broadcasting platform.

This event marks the first time The Pythons have been together in this manner in more than ten years. In true Python fashion, the troupe will somehow appear in its complete six-member form for their 40th reunion, although Python member Graham Chapman died in 1989. The Pythons will also accept a Special Award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) honoring their outstanding contribution to film and television.

John Cleese, I notice, will be then be participating in Los Angeles’ Screenwriting Expo on Sunday afternoon.

“Late Night With Jimmy Fallon”: 12:37 p.m. Wednesday. NBC.
“Python Live Ziegfeld Reunion”: 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. Thursday. IFC.com
“Monty Python: Almost The Truth”: 9 p.m. Sunday-Friday. IFC.
