Does it count if I was surprised to hear how old he was when he was on Arrested Development?

[@sojournersunrise2290]

and what age was that?

[@melvina628]

I'm surprised to hear that he passed.

[@Gravydog316]

not really, since was almost 70 when i was born LOL

[@KJ-je9pm]

He did not look 93 at all. RIP

[@immanuelsuleiman7550]

I can't believe he was 95 years old. It feels like just yesterday he was talking to Dave Chappelle about pimping. Rest in peace old man.

He was 93, not 95.

[@HardKore5250]

Definitely dyed his beard lol smart move I never knew either lol!

[@Wayfsmitt]

I thought he was in his 50's back in all of those old interviews, turns out he was in his 70's. He looked great for his age, even at 93, he would pass for early 70's.

[@mismay360]

This feels just like yesterday! RIP James Lipton.

I got (good) chills watching James come from behind the curtain and speak with that smile he would have when something really drew his interest. Thanks for bringing this memory back.

[@mikedelvalle931]

'Cept the Mexican Dictator bit

[@StarkRG]

Mexico was saved in a last-ditch effort by BBC Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson who instigated a situation where he had to be removed from the TV show, which left the position open to be taken over by LeBlanc who abandoned his plans for Mexico in preference for the more enticing position.

[@dds584]

R.I.P. James Lipton. You by far had the best show on Bravo, when it was still about creative art.Now it's just Reality TV and boring. Inside The Actors Studio was a diamond in the rough. I'll miss your interviews, but most importantly I will miss you. Love and thoughts to your family. Thanks Team Coco for sharing this awesome clip.
