LOL: Last One Laughing is currently in its 4th season on Amazon and again locks 10 stars in a confined space who are desperate to make each other laugh. Because you only win if you don’t laugh for six hours.
To ensure that the show adheres to the time limit, director Michael “Bully” Herbig surprises the participants with unpleasantly funny surprises. For example, Heino and Police Academy legend Michael Winslow have performed in the past.
But in Season 4 Episode 4, Bully outdoes himself with a guest star who helped create two of the greatest comedy series of all time: Monty Python legend John Cleese.

Most Famous LOL Guest Yet: Who Is John Cleese?
John Cleese is one of the founding members of the comedy troupe Monty Python, alongside Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Between 1969 and 1974 they produced the sketch comedy series Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which was groundbreaking with its quirky humor and lack of classic punch lines. Their influence extends to the USA (Saturday Night Live) as well as to Germany (RTL Saturday Night, Switch Reloaded, Die Bullyparade).
Monty Python also made three feature films (The Knights of the Coconut, The Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life) which have achieved cult status. In addition, John Cleese is the co-creator of Fawlty Towers, which is considered one of the best sitcoms of all time.
Cleese fans may know that this isn’t the first time the Brit has joked in German. Because Monty Python produced Monty Python’s Flying Circus for WDR, a two-episode show German version of the Flying Circuswhich aired in 1972.
The first episode was recorded in German by the Python stars using phonetic transcriptions, and the second was dubbed afterwards.
