NEW YORK (AP) -- Clay Aiken, who joins the cast of "Monty Python's Spamalot" this week, says its humor was initially lost on him.
Clay Aiken joins the "Spamalot" cast as Sir Robin later this week.
"The first time I saw it I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever seen in my entire life," the "American Idol" runner-up told Newsweek. "My tour drummer is the 'Spamalot' drummer, and (he) said you've got to see it again."
Aiken plays one of the leads, Sir Robin, in the Tony Award-winning musical in a stint from Friday through May 4. He told the magazine he was so sore from rehearsals he "couldn't even get off the toilet the other day."
"It hurts so bad. I don't know if it's I'm not coordinated or using muscles I never had to use before," he said.
The show is based on the film "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which came out in 1975, a little before the 29-year-old singer's time.
"I thought Monty Python was a person until three months ago," Aiken told Newsweek for editions on newsstands on Monday.
