In case anyone TIVO'd the SNL first 5 years special the other night, I was 
surprised to see Eric Idle as a very very prominent part of that retrospective. 
  Fun to see.

He said that out of all the NRFPT Players, he felt that only Aykroyd was of a 
caliber that could hang with the Python folk.    I thought
that was interesting.  I'd love to know more about why he felt that way.

Aykroyd has always been a superb supporting man/ensemble (SNL, Blues Brothers, 
Grosse Pointe Blank), but god, he has no business leading a damn thing (Blues 
Brothers 2000, Dr. Detroit, and several other catastrophes I'm sure).

Best Regards,
