• Eric's father, who served in the Royal Air Force, died in a car crash on Christmas eve when he was two years old.
• The only member of the Monty Python group to write alone. Therefore, it was difficult at times for him to get his material accepted and used by the others.
• In 1963, as a collegiate, he was admitted into the Cambridge Footlights comedy club. He became president of the club the following year and one of his first acts was to open the membership up to include women. Feminist/writer Germaine Greer was one of the first to join.
• Supporter of Sunderland Football Club of the English Premiership
• Proudly calls himself "the third tallest member of Monty Python."
• Is an accomplished guitar player.
• Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith, pg. 225-226. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387
• Defeated Charles Barkley and Martha Stewart on a celebrity episode of "Jeopardy" (2002) in 2002.
• Got permission from the other members of Monty Python (except, naturally, Graham Chapman) to go ahead with his play/musical "Spamalot" (set to hit Broadway in early 2005), a twist on their classic film Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), because they all found the script hilarious.
• Was once tasked by his fellow Pythons with composing a response to an angry piece of fan mail. Monty Python member Graham Chapman was openly gay, and a letter had been written citing Bible verses, stating that homosexuals should be stoned to death. He jokingly replied that they had stoned Chapman to death.
• Friend of Robin Williams.
• Describes himself as having "creative dyslexia", meaning he can look at any word and automatically see the anagrams that can be made from it. One of the characters he played in "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was a man who speaks only in anagrams.
• Admired by the other Pythons for his circle of friends, it was he who procured part of the production money for Life of Brian (1979) from former Beatle George Harrison.
• Appears as the M.C. in the 3-D film _Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (1995)_ at Disneyland.
