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
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.
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.
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!)
@@hoss-lk4bg actually he did say that, unfortunately you're an idiot who doesn't make something we call "search", maybe because you're lazy, I don't care, but now you know, from someone who actually made a search, pressing a button isn't that hard
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
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.
I imagine him, Nicholas Hoult, Deforest Kelly, Karl Urban, Phil Hartman, a quiet CD case of an ubiquitous Eurodance group from the mid 90s and a digitally inserted version of himself as Beast in a waiting room talking to each other and Niles Crane comes in asking for a Dr. McCoy.
This is the best impression of Drew Barrymore ever! I had to seek this out after hearing Drew do the dating game on Howard Stern, all I could think was that she was doing an impression of this impression. Hah!
