From JOSSIP — Thank the radio gods for creating a show in which Barbara Walters invited James Lipton over for an insanity party. Made of pure comedic gold, the top three quotes are found after the jump!
The Art Of The Nausea-Inducing Interview
It was so hard to pick the single most vomitous portion of this interview (which aired on Sirius yesterday) between Barbara Walters and Inside The Actors Studio host James Lipton, that we’ve picked the top three moments, in order of ascending grossness, instead.
First, we were bemused:
BARBARA WALTERS: 1968 was my first year at The Today Show—trust me—I would not be floozying around in Paris…this is a disgrace!
Then slightly uncomfortable:
BARBARA WALTERS: What profession would you like to attempt if you weren’t doing this?
JAMES LIPTON: I would like to be a classical dancer, but what this provides, though Barbara, that I would be forever young and never injured.
And finally, borderline queasy:
BARBARA WALTERS: What turns you on?
JAMES LIPTON: Words—our most precious natural resource.
Barf.
Get it together, Lipton, you old horndog. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have a few other extremely arousing posts to write.
