Every once in a while, they get a true giant of cinema, television or the stage to come on the show and talk about their craft, and their lifetime of making films or shows. I am looking forward to the Clint Eastwood one, I liked the DeNiro one, Mike Nichols.
Then you get Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone, Mike Myers for the love of peter. The "giants" of the entertainment industry. I mean, Sharon Stone? Her only claim to fame is flashing us her beaver in "Basic Instinct" and she is up there lying between her teeth about whose fault it is that she flashed her beaver (for the record, she is saying that she had no idea Verhoeven was filming her flashing her beaver!).
Lipton is at his best when he interviews the true legends, and at his shameless worst when he interviews the fluffers, especially making them jump through hoops by saying famous lines, or asking them to dance. I think his very best show was the one with Billy Joel, go figure.
