From Arrested Development:
“It’s a self-strangulation for the ages”

I’m not sure how recently it was made, but I SAW the episode of Inside the Actors Studio recently where Dave Chappelle interviews Lipton. It is endlessly entertaining and interesting, much like Mr. Lipton

Thanks for explaining the word maquereau! It’s in a song and it’s been bothering me for years, and I always wanted to figure it out on my own but couldn’t look up the word because I had no idea how to spell it. [Sounded to me like "macaroll".] And just looking up the song is cheating.
So. Much gratitude!

I’ve been thinking about doing a blog on Nina Foch, an actress and legendary acting teacher who passed away last week — Lipton was her first husband.

His father was Venice Beach beatnik Lawrence Lipton who wrote the novel the Holy Barbarians.

So. Awesome.

I’ve been a Lipton fan for years, starting with EoLarks when I was little. Is there anything the man can’t do? I heard him on Wait, Wait last year (a very memorable time; I’m really glad I wasn’t driving, I was laughing so hard) and read Inside Inside this year. Amazing man.

James Lipton is the best. The best “Inside the Actors Studio” so far was aired a few weeks ago, when Dave Chappelle interviewed James Lipton. It made me want to go out and buy the book.
