It’s John Cleese on a 1971 episode of Joker’s Wild And it is splendid.
Remember, this was what daytime television was like in the early 1970s. DAYTIME BLOODY TELEVISION. We really liked both Land Girls and The Indian Doctor, but seriously, bloody hell.
AND it was on ITV.

I remember my Mum repeatedly quoting one of his other jokes from that appearance, about a history professort who called his parrot Holy Roman Empire.
He explained it was called that because it wasn't holy, wasn't Roman and wasn't an empire.
Daytime TV was different back then.
