Keck's Exclusives: John Cleese Visits NBC's Whitney

John Cleese

Whitney Cummings is seeking psychological treatment from John Cleese. The Monty Python alum, whose rare TV appearances have been limited to episodes of Will & Grace and Third Rock From the Sun, will guest star in a February episode of NBC's Whitney as a couples therapist.

When Whitney and Alex (Chris D'Elia) begin feeling disconnected in their relationship, Roxanne (Rhea Seahorn) suggests they visit a therapist, Dr. Grant, for some advice.

Cleese plays Dr. Grant, who assigns the couple some at-home exercises designed to improve communication and intimacy. Not surprisingly, this results in some decidedly awkward moments.    

Would we expect anything less from Mr. Cleese?

For a look at John on set, check out Chris's recent tweet: "Pretty cool moment for me."
