Ranked: These Comedians Have Made Us Laugh For Decades

21. John Cleese

John Cleese is another veteran comedian from the 1970s, but this time we’re taking a trip across the pond. The British actor co-founded Monty Python, a comedy troupe that would perform sketches and star in films like Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

As his career went on, Cleese would write and star in Fawlty Towers – one of the most successful British sitcoms in history. Today, he often appears in comedy films and has taken a step back from behind the camera.
