I used to really love that show! I liked how it seemed true to the art of acting. No fabricated interviews about love lives or mansions - just questions about acting technique and what brought the guests to the place they are at.
That was until the day they invited Jennifer Lopez on the show. At first I thought I was watching a spoof on Mad TV but sure enough James and Jennifer were not being impersonated.
Since that show I've tried to get back into it, really I have. I watched the Michael J. Fox special 2 hour episode (which was really good!) but sadly the very next week they had Cameron Diaz! I couldn't stomach the betrayal after that.
I practically forgot about the show until today when I was reading Orchestrated Happenstance and found a posting about the questionaire James Lipton accredits Bernard Pivot with creating. In rememberance of a happier ITAS time, here are the questions and my answers.
