James Lipton, Inside The Actor's Studio


James Lipton, host of "Inside The Actor's Studio," was on my show this afternoon, promoting his book, "Inside Inside."

We talked about the actors who have impressed him most, the actresses who don't believe they're beautiful, the episode in which Elton John wrote a song on the spot, what brings on those emotional moments with his guests, and other highlights from his show.

I didn't ask Lipton about Will Ferrell's impression of him, but we got to a couple of stories from his life that you probably don't know -- Lipton's days as a pimp in Paris, and how his wife ended up as Miss Scarlet in the board game Clue.
