I love Inside the Actors Studio, but holy fuck if this guy doesn't lap these people's assholes. Does he have to do this to get the big names to come on his show? I saw him interview Spielberg like a week ago and you would think The Color Purple was the second coming of christ. I can even understand Spielberg, but Sarah Jessica Parker?!? She's not giving you a handy after the show for chrissakes. It is too much to take really. These are actors (or directors), not gods, ACTORS!! Comments?

Oh, and the only person deserving of the Lipton treatment is Jason Lee, when is he gonna be on the show already?

Will Ferrell and Dave Cross know what you're talking about.

Yea, I saw an SNL bit with Ferrel doing Lipton and it started out brilliantly and devolved into some stupid ass typical SNL shit. But the impression was dead-on

The best ones I've seen so far were Mike meyers, and Robin williams...
There are times when the show is great...
Will Ferrell really does have the impression down, and his stack of cards gets bigger every time he does it.

My favorite guest was probably Kevin Spacey, when he was doing the impressions, that was great. And I love the haunting theme music.

I liked that racist infomercial skit that Heather Locklear did with Mike Myers.

What? We're talking about SNL, right?

I loved the episode with Alec Baldwin cause watching him you could see how much he loves the craft. Speilberg was great as well as Anthony Quinn but I agree that people like Sarah Jessica Parker have no business being there.

But honestly he comes off as very pompus most times. But it is no different from watching ESPN and seeing athletes get rimmed by certain reporters. The show is dedicated to acting and when you get Speilberg on your show he may not be GOD but he's damn close.

"Watching you give your performance was like GOD smiling down upon his most perfect creation." - Will Ferrell as James Lipton

James Lipton is on Conan now praising Conan's Seigfreid and Roy SAT analogies

i cant stand it when he wants actors to answer questions as a character they did. talk about asking them to sing for their meal. i like the show though. the mike myers one was great!!

The other night Will Farrell was on as Lipton, interviewing Lipton.
Very funny stuff.
