Former director and Monty Python member Terry Gilliam lamented the change in comedy culture in a new interview, saying he's tired of being "blamed for everything" because he's a white male.In an interview published Monday by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Gillam spoke about Monty Python's 1979 comedy film "Life of Brian" and how "it would be a fight" to get some of those jokes onscreen today.He also addressed comments made last year by BBC comedy chief Shane Allen, who said any modern-day sketch show wouldn't feature "six Oxbridge white blokes.""I wasn't particularly angry, I just played angry," Mr. Gilliam said of his initial reaction to Mr. Allen's comments.Mr. Gilliam also lamented that political correctness and "egotism" had changed comedy in the U.K. and the U.S.
