Monty Python actor John Cleese was caught in the act on live TV this morning.
The 78-year-old actor stopped by Good Morning Britain on Friday but was accidentally caught discussing marijuana caravans, not realising he was back on live TV.
Marijuana caravans? Sounds like a unicorn myth to us.
It all unfolded during Johns interview with hosts Charlotte Hawkins and Ben Shephard, who tried to start their segment but the actor was completely unaware they had returned from the advert break and were live on-air.
John completely missed the cue and is heard saying: Theres this extraordinary caravan which is powered almost entirely by marijuana or something.
In the midst of uneasy laughter, Ben joked: Thats how we should start an interview at all times.

We agree.
Realising what had happened, John suddenly broke into an awkward smile and swivelled around in his chair, almost like a school kid whod been caught talking about something naughty.
Seriously, we need to know more about those marijuana caravans, John.
Reacting to Johns gaffe, a viewer tweeted: You need your own whole show interview (maybe with @piersmorgan) – 5 minutes wasnt nearly enough. Need to hear about the marijuana caravan.
The trio managed to gloss over the awkward moment but not for long as the comedian later launched into a tirade about his plans to leave the corrupt UK.
Not holding back, John ranted: Im going to buzz off in November because Im fed up of the corruption in this country.
In particular, with just how awful the newspapers are and the way they censor news so people in England dont know certain things, particularly anything critical of them. I dont think you can run a democracy until you have reasonably reliable information out there to help people make up their mind how theyre going to vote.
