Character Information

James Lipton is the host of Inside the Actor's Studio, a talk show where he interviews actors and others involved with movies and television shows.
History[edit]
Lipton once had Rainier Wolfcastle as a guest on his show, but the interview went badly when Wolfcastle went into character as McBain, mistook Lipton for McBain's old nemesis Mendoza, and shot him. Ever the gracious host, however, Lipton said, "It was a pleasure to eat your lead, good sir!" as he collapsed.[1]
Lipton survived the shooting and later had the cast of Thicker than Waters on his show for a reunion interview. Lipton tried (but failed) to get Rebecca, who played Lizzie Waters, to talk about her hairstyle, "The Lizzie". Rebecca got mad and refused to say anything, but Digby Sheridan, who played Patrick Waters, spontaneously admitted to having slept with "everyone in the cast - including the dog."[2]
A picture of James Lipton was on the wall of The Penny Loafer.[3]
James Lipton hosted Inside the Acting Studio on Channel 6. On the show, James Lipton asked Bumblebee Man how he prepared himself emotionally for the physically grueling but professionally rewarding appearances he made on Hollywood Squares. Bumblebee Man responded in Spanish, saying he didn't speak English.[4]
