I found this part of the Snopes article especially convincing

And two, Cleese is a famous comedian. If he wanted to publish a poem about Sean Hannity, he would do so in The Atlantic, or The New York Times, or even his own website, but not on an internet forum where anyone can contribute.

I doubt if he'd be shy about claiming credit if he had written it.

This will work its way up through Hannity's layers of flappers & he will see it & read it. Good. .nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #4

Good thing it is an ode and not an appearance on the show as I wondered quizzically it might be. nt Bernardo de La Paz Mar 2022 #5
