This is a clip from an in-studio appearance for local PBS affiliate KERA-TV in Dallas, Texas in 1975. Apparently, KERA was the first station in the US to broadcast Monty Python's Flying Circus, after an executive pulled the show from a box of rejected British television programs. This appearance on the station's pledge drive, however, has not been aired since it was broadcast live, and only a portion of it has survived the last 32 years. It is an extremely rare interview and was shot just after Monty Python and the Holy Grail had wrapped production.
