And now for something completely different. Professor at Large features beloved English comedian and actor John Cleese in the role of Ivy League professor at Cornell University. His almost twenty years as professor-at-large has led to many talks, essays, and lectures on campus. This collection of the very best moments from Cleese under his mortarboard provides a unique view of his endless pursuit of intellectual discovery across a range of topics. Since 1999, Cleese has provided Cornell students and local citizens with his ideas on everything from scriptwriting to psychology, religion to hotel management, and wine to medicine.His incredibly popular events and classes—including talks, workshops, and an analysis of A Fish Called Wanda and The Life of Brian—draw hundreds of people. He has given a sermon at Sage Chapel, narrated Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf with the Cornell Chamber Orchestra, conducted a class on script writing, and lectured on psychology and human development. Each time Cleese has visited the campus in Ithaca, NY, he held a public presentation, attended and or lectured in classes, and met privately with researchers. From the archives of these visits, Professor at Large includes an interview with screenwriter William Goldman, a lecture about creativity entitled, "Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind," talks about Professor at Large and The Life of Brian, a discussion of facial recognition, and Cleese's musings on group dynamics with business students and faculty.Professor at Large provides a window into the workings of John Cleese's scholarly mind, showcasing the wit and intelligence that have driven his career as a comedian, while demonstrating his knack of pinpointing the essence of humans and human problems. His genius on the screen has long been lauded; now his academic chops get their moment in the spotlight, too.

The book is a compilation of lectures and interviews conducted by “Professor” John Cleese at Cornell University from 1999 to 2017. Cleese is notably remembered for co-founding Monty Python, the comedy troupe responsible for the sketch show Monty Python’s Flying Circus and four Monty Python films. Later he co-starred with Kevin Cline, Jamie Lee Curtis and Python colleague Michael Palin in the film A Fish Called Wanda. In October 2000 Cleese conducted a Cornell seminar on screenwriting with Bill Goldman who won Oscars for his screenplays of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and All the President’s Men. (Bill Goldman passed away on November 16th of this year.) Goldman, who had written both books and screenplays, pointed out the big difference in what happens after each work is finished. When the writer turns in his screenplay, he loses control of it. What happens then is up to the director and the folks who control the money. The final reality is the star of the movie; you’d better write for her or him. There is a chapter detailing a seminar Cleese conducted in April 2001 with Stephen Ceci, Professor of Developmental Psychology. The subject was The Human Face: how we are influenced by the way people look, how we fail to read them, and how we try to see people. Both Cleese and Ceci present a lot of fascinating information with one item in particular called “the golden mean” that was discovered by the ancient Greeks. It’s the ratio 1:1.618 and has been verified by many examples. If a face is found beautiful then the width of the mouth is exactly 1.618 times the width of the nose. (Now where did I leave that tape measure?) In April 2009 Cleese hosted a seminar on group dynamics with Professor Elizabeth Mannix. Cleese shared a bit of humor when he told a joke about universities now using lawyers instead of rats in their experiments. One of the more interesting items they discussed concerned his group on the Monty Python series. Each member of the group contributed in both the writing of and acting in sketches. He remarked that the squabbles and fighting were always about the writing and never the casting. The last chapter is the most recent, a September 2017 interview with Cleese himself. He seems to be a pretty happy fellow and comes up with some very funny comments. He loves the New York Times but thinks all the English newspapers are terrible. He also has some decidedly uncomplimentary views of Donald Trump. He likens his presidency to a wrestling match, an event that is totally phony, and wonders why the American people can’t see that he’s hopeless.
