"The whole thing was very Zen. I really liked it. It changed my life to be honest," Idle said of his time on the Fox reality competition series."I had pancreatic cancer, and I have been very fortunate and lucky to survive, it was caught early, I had a big operation at Cedars and they saved my life, and I hadn't told anybody."
"He said, 'Oh at least 10 years. You're very fit, you're healthy, the cancer's all gone.' And I hadn't really counted on that," Idle recalled. "So I thought, 'Here's my chance to do something good.' I have to come out now with my cancer [battle], tell people I've survived, and share that experience."
"The producers said, 'It's a very silly show,' and I said, 'Well, I think I've been on a few silly shows in my time,'" Idle told ET with a laugh when looking back at when he signed on to do the show in the first place."So I thought it was in my wheelhouse. It was one of the things that appealed to me."
