Monty Python Live at Aspen was a reunion show featuring all the surviving members of Monty Python. Graham Chapman was also allegedly in attendance as his "ashes" were brought out in an urn. The Pythons looked back at their work and received an award (AFI award). It also featured some memorable moments when Gilliam 'accidentally' spilled Chapman's ashes, which Eric Idle said was their biggest audience laugh ever. It was hosted by Robert Klein.
