you just have to be careful with the multiple boolean line in the elif. You
can use either
elif name == ("John Cleese" or "Michael Palin"):
or
elif name == "John Cleese" or name == "Michael Palin":
With your elif line, it is asking "does name == John Cleese" or "Michael
Palin", and so if the name is not John Cleese, then I believe it prints
"Michael Palin" while reporting True, so satisfying the elif clause.
Cheers,
Andre
