The fact that Will Ferrell always looks like he's having an absence seizure at the beginning of these sketches still breaks me up to this day.

That's the MK ULTRA programming he's been subjected to by his US government owners. That's his programming files switching so he's able to get into character for the sketches he's assigned, by his handlers, to perform.

I watch this periodically. When I first saw this as a teenager I cried laughing. I didn't even understand what show they were parodying. I just laughed at Farrell's performance. After I got older and saw inside the actors studio it made me laugh even more

Crazy to think how prolific Will Ferrell was on SNL. Not just the sketches he wrote that showcased his talents, but also how he found ways to highlight the comedic strength of his co-stars.

Truly fitting that the satire of Inside the Actors' Studio would, itself, be an acting masterclass

RIP James Lipton. You’ll live on in our hearts and minds. Even though this was a parody about you, it was done with love.

I think Kate absolutely nailed the Drew impersonation. 5:33 “You . . . smell like flowers (giggle)” 😂

This clip has taken on a greater meaning, what a joy Mr Lipton it was to watch you. Thank you for sharing a part of you, may you rest in peace.

This is so much better than pretty much any other sketch in the last 15 years

I clicked to see the great impression Will Ferrell of James Lipton but I was gladly surprised by the fantastic impression Kate Hudson gave as Drew Barrymore. They were both great.

Omg I died at the first glance at his funny odd expression :D :D :D

This clip was so magical.

RIP, James Lipton. Will Ferrell loved you, and so did I.

Gregg Toland, who is mentioned at the beginning, truly was one of the great Hollywood innovators. Cinematographer, director, and inventor. He was the cameraman for The Grapes of Wrath, The Best Years of Our Lives, Wuthering Heights, and most notably Citizen Kane. Orson Welles said he learned everything about directing from Toland in a day and a half.

Too be blunt, Kate Hudsons boobs are not that big. Not even close. So if that's really her then the boobs...including the nipples....are fake. (I'm still not altogether convinced that's not really Drew Barrymore!)

Holy shit, this is absolutely Drew on her new talk show.

When he falls off that chair ahahaha

I remember watching this live, I was 13 years old, already aware of Actors Studio by that point. The part where James Lipton begins laughing too hard and rocks his chair backwards to the point where it causes him to tumble out and onto his head was one of the funniest things I had ever seen at that point, in a time before Adult Swim, back in the days when you actually watched SNL at 1 AM on the East Coast, there was just something so absurd about that and it pretty much cemented Will Ferrell as brilliant for me on the spot

Look at the top of Will's left hand before and after he falls backward in the chair. He hurt it somehow.

this interview was simply delightful

Fantastic. Hudson was awesome as Drew Barrymore. Will Ferrell is equally good as Lipton. This was a hoot.

I can't really understand why people aren't laughing more insanely at Will Ferrel's part here - it's like people just really don't get it.

0:13 When your parents tell you have to take summer school.

This skit NEVER gets old...Love it❤😆😆😆

I remember watching the E.T. when I was a boy- it was a delight.

This was one of the best acts Will did. Love it. Kate did such a great job and she....is so beautiful.

The contrasting dispositions is the subtlety.

She nailed the impression.

Best moments: when she ends a part and he looks with a remote gaze into the audience (meaning: hell, she is soooo bad, why am I here?)
