If you ever find yourself on line for Inside the Actor's Studio, James Lipton's high-brow talk show of sorts that films at Pace University, there's something you should know before stepping inside. While the show may only be an hour when it airs on Bravo, the real life version is about 4 or 5 times as long. We recently spent a big chunk of time with Josh Brolin in the studio (more on that to come), and now TV Squad writes about their experience when Conan O'Brien was a guest, with a post titled: James Lipton holds Conan O'Brien and hundreds of others hostage. They note, "It was nearly midnight when Lipton got to his last blue card...when the nearly 4 hour interview was finished, everyone felt drained. Even Conan seemed to be glad it was over." And in all that time there wasn't much lip service paid to Conan's move to the west coast, aside from him saying "he was excited and nervous—and that they'd fly Lipton out to L.A. so he could still be on the show."
