Michael Palin, 78

While Sir Micheal Palin doesn’t owe anyone anything for the knighthood he earned through his own endeavor; he did make a name for himself with the Monty Python crew. As a matter of fact, he wrote most of his material while in the group with his co-comedian Terry Jones.

Palin was part of some of the most memorable Monty Python sketches, including Argument Clinic, The Lumberjack Song, Bicycle Repair Man, and Spanish Inquisition. As a Python, he landed several jobs with other pythons, most notably Terry Jones. He is also set for a part in a documentary called Living with Parkinson’s.;
