Despite rumored acrimony between the members of the seemingly upbeat Monty Python troupe, the members continued to work together after their legendary sketch show, "Monty Python's Flying Circus," ended in 1974.

Indeed, they reteamed for three feature films between 1975 and 1983. However, they also broke off into smaller groups for other projects, such as "Ripping Yarns," which Palin and Terry Jones created and produced between 1976 and 1979.

Not a lot, though it actually hasn't been that long since she did the show.

"The Weakest Link," hosted by the emotionless and frequently harsh Anne Robinson, debuted on Britain's BBC network in 2000 and was a huge success, spawning versions in many other countries. An American version debuted in 2001, also hosted by Robinson, but it performed poorly over here and was canceled in 2002.

Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Yes it is.

Tony-winning Broadway star and, of course, Emmy-nominated "Cosby Show" star Phylicia Rashad has found time, between stage and TV commitments (which are much more demanding now that she has a full-time series gig on "Do No Harm") to do commercial voiceovers, including most recently a series of ads for the University of Phoenix.
