Chapman's death occurred a day before the 20th anniversary of the first broadcast of Flying Circus, with Jones commenting, "the worst case of party-pooping in all history." Cleese's eulogy at Chapman's memorial service—in which he "became the first person ever at a British memorial service to say 'fuck'"—has since become legendary.[21] Cleese would later play a supporting role in Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein alongside Branagh himself and Robert De Niro.

John Cleese | Movies and Biography - Yahoo! Movies

Despite the show's popularity, Cleese felt two seasons worth was all he could do with the character.
. . .
He also assumed the role of Q after the passing of Llewelyn in "Die Another Day"(2002) - this time bringing even more of his trademark cheek and disdain to the part.
. . .
Perhaps his greatest film success was "A Fish Called Wanda" (1988), a blockbuster comedy directed by Ealing Studio veteran Charles Crichton and starring Cleese as an uptight British barrister, Jamie Lee Curtis as a sexy con artist, Kevin Kline as her macho boyfriend and Michael Palin as an hilariously tortured animal lover with a stutter.
. . .
But he also joined The Footlights - the school's famed theatre group that specialized in satire and comedy - where he met future Monty Python members Graham Chapman and Eric Idle.
. . .
"How to Irritate People" was also notable for bringing together on screen four of six future Monty Python performers - Cleese, Chapman, Michael Palin and Terry Jones.
. . .
Cleese portrayed Basil Fawlty, the perpetually frustrated owner of a resort inn - a sort of middle-class Ralph Kramden on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

John Cleese: 'I'll never grow up' - Telegraph

Cleese adopted a tough love stance towards her until she sought help and went into rehab.

“Now isn’t this clever?” he says, filled with pride as he shows me one of Wade’s silver pendants featuring a tiger’s head.
. . .
Am I right in thinking it just turned midnight and became April 1st?’ So I caught her for once,” he says, laughing.
. . .
Eyes wide with admiration, picking out his favourite, shiny trinkets, Cleese looks for all the world like a child in a sweet shop.
. . .
But Cleese has also embraced cosmetic enhancement, with several hair transplants and a new set of teeth.
. . .
“People say ‘why didn’t you have a prenup?’ The answer is I did have a prenup but it had no legal force in the UK and to my astonishment, I found that it didn’t have legal force in the United States either.

However, due to Chapman’s alcoholism, Cleese found himself bearing an increasing workload in the partnership and was therefore unenthusiastic about doing a series with just the two of them.
. . .
However, the second series did not appear until 1979, by which time Cleese’s marriage to Booth had broken down.
. . .
It was during this period that Cleese met and befriended influential British comedian Peter Cook.
. . .
While perhaps a small role in John Cleese’s respect, such lines as “half of you can’t even grow a decent moustache” and “your idea of honour is outdated, too.

Cleese’s Monty Python writing partner and friend, Graham Chapman, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1989, and during his final hours, Cleese, along with Michael Palin, Peter Cook and David Sherlock, witnessed Chapman’s passing.

The gala ended with his ‘execution‘, where he asked people to choose the method of execution by text messaging a number (which was fake).
