Uh, yeah, what was with totally skipping over A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster? (Except for mentioning J&W in the introduction, where it got a huge cheer. That should have been a clue to have it in there, Lipton you wanker.)
I also was disappointed at the lack mention of Stephen Fry. I suspect the actual interviews are longer, and edited down for broadcast. I really think they could have given him 2 hours, like they do with some others, and he could have carried it easily.
At least Lipton could have shut up about Hugh’s relationship with his parents. Is the guy a closet Freudian?
Yeah…I’ve seen every episode of House…but only knew his comedy by reputation.
I thought it wasn’t a particularly good episode. He can play piano, but I don’t like his voice. And they skipped too much of his career. And since they’ve moved the show from the New School to Pace University, the student questions have become lame and fan-ish, rather than intelligent and acting-oriented.
Watch Black Adder III. I’ve never seen House and I can’t imagine Hugh as anything but Prince George from that series.
The guy plays cluelessness perfectly.
Heck, they had one Blackadder question and a short clip, and that’s it.
I have to say the questions from the students were pretty stupid, too. Most questions in other ItAS episodes I’ve seen are about method, process, and other acting schools of thought. But for Laurie? “Which character should House hook up with? Tee hee hee hee!” :rolleyes:
I used to hate him until on Arrested Development he proved he could be a good sport.
You should see him on Conan. He shotgunned a beer to start Spring Break.
He also read Kevin Federline’s “PopoZoa” lyrics on the air, as if they are profound.
He’s a fun guy and I think Inside the Actors Studio was a good idea when they had standards. Now, they’ll have anyone on.
Very nice! I think that solidifies my newfound respect for him.
I hate Lipton as an interviewer, but he did impress me with his “rap” for Da Ali G Show. Not that it was good, but he made a great straight man without ever coming off stupid or nasty.
