It was good. The best thing I’ve ever seen Kate perform

I swear I thought it was really her just playing an exaggerated version of herself lol

[@eshim3961]

The fact that Will Ferrell always looks like he's having an absence seizure at the beginning of these sketches still breaks me up to this day.

[@hoss-lk4bg]

do what

[@cagneybillingsley2165]

anyone notice will ferrell's finger's bruised after the fall? i don't think that was part of the script

[@guymorris6596]

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.

[@CourtneyLachiver]

That part always kills me.

[@ericday4505]

Will is about as funny as it gets, dude is great at physical comedy.

[@rynostewie]

RIP James Lipton. You’ll live on in our hearts and minds. Even though this was a parody about you, it was done with love.

[@ludo3375]

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

[@pattycifra2602]

Kate Hudson's Drew Barrymore impression was PERFECT!

[@Jaymindrew1990]

I think Kate absolutely nailed the Drew impersonation. 5:33 “You . . . smell like flowers (giggle)” 😂

[@williamengelhard185]

An astounding Drew Barrymore imitation.

Check out Noel Wells' impression. 100% more spot on!

[@viper3183]

Truly fitting that the satire of Inside the Actors' Studio would, itself, be an acting masterclass

[@08davey]

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.

[@eltonjohnish]

"Nor they you," cracks me the hell up!!

[@TRJ2241987]

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

[@CheyenneKid]

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.

[@aaronthompson7330]

The one word I could use to describe this: magical.

[@PlumbPitiful]

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!)
