The 100th Episode - A CelebrationWill the real James Lipton please stand up? For the first time on television James Lipton appears on stage with his comedic nemesis Will Ferrell, who regularly delivers a devilishly, dead-on parody of Lipton on the venerable late night comedy series "Saturday Night Live." Lipton marks a milestone of his own celebrating his 100th guest, Gene Hackman. While Ferrell's faux Actors Studio guests have included Charles Nelson Reilly, and "Saved by the Bell's" "Screech," Lipton has interviewed 100 of our greatest actors including Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, Paul Newman, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Jack Lemmon, Anthony Hopkins and many others. All are featured in the special retrospective hour -- with a few surprises thrown in -- followed by a one-hour interview with Gene Hackman. - Inside the Actors Studio: A 50 Year CelebrationE3
