Terry Jones confirmed on Tuesday, Nov 19, that he and the four other surviving members of Monty Python are indeed reuniting.
"We're getting together and putting on a show—it's real," Jones told BBC News. "I'm quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!"
Jones' statement comes on the heels of The Sun's headline the day before that read, "Monty Python Is Set to Be a Flying Circus All Over Again."
The reunion, which will bring together Jones, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Eric Idle, is expected to be announced officially on Thursday at a press conference at The Playhouse Theatre in London's West End, where Monty Python's Spamalot is currently running.
A sixth founding member, Graham Chapman, died of cancer in 1989.
The group first found success with their zany sketch series, Monty Python's Flying Circus, which debuted in 1969 on the BBC, before hitting it big on the silver screen with such films as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life.
