One of the original 1969 Monty Python troupe (5)

I believe the answer is:

palin

(Other definitions for palin that I've seen before include "Michael - - (TV traveller)" , "US politician" , "Michael --, comedian" , "Michael --, Python" , "Michael - - (TV comedy, travel)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
