Dude got to live a long healthy life. I have to say I really enjoyed Inside the Actor's Studio and James Lipton is one of the finest hosts around. Was able to get stuff out of actor's that many other hosts could not. What a sad loss. You will be missed

I love Inside the Actor Studio. He was very good host for that show. He had some classic television moments that's for sure.

Oh yeah he had a list of actors he wanted to interview before he died I think a couple are Jack Nicholson and Daniel Day-Lewis. Unfortunately he never got to interview those two among others.

RIP

This dude can't make up his mind over whether Lipton berates and asks hard questions or is an "ass-kiss".

This whole bit seems bitter as fuck.
