I watch Monty Python obsessively. If you don't know who/what this is, go away and never speak to me again. I've compiled my own "awards" for them, and like know who out there agrees or disagrees!
Best Looking in Drag: Graham Chapman
Worst Looking in Drag: John Cleese
Best Looking: Eric Idle
Worst Looking: Terry Jones
Best Actor: Michael Palin
Best Movie: Life of Brian
Best French: they all seem to speak basic french pretty well.
Best Sketches: ooh, this is a difficult one. I particularly like Cheese Shop, The Bishop, and Psychiatrist Milkmen
Most Famous Sketch: probably between Spam and Spanish Inquisition
Best Success After the Show: although most people would automatically say John Cleese, did you know that Terry Gilliam (the one American) has directed/written lots of big movies? Such as Time Bandits, Brazil, Twelve Monkeys, The Fisher King, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. So my vote would have to go to him.
There is one sketch I've only seen once and I can't find. It was a soccer match between the Germans and the Greeks. However, the players consisted of Kant, Nietzsche, Heigel and Plato, Aristotle, Socrates. Ha! get it? If anyone can direct to that sketch I'd much appreciate it.
"She turned me in to a NEWT!"
"A Newt?"
"....I got better"

"Bring me a shubbery!"
Creation of the Monty Python Awards HAS to mean you are feeling a little better I hope. ;o)
Oh, and I agree, John Cleese is definitely the Worst Looking in Drag, but HILARIOUS!

I'd probably say that Michael Palin is the most obviously successful post show
