Inside the Bloggers Studio
James Lipton's got nothing on The Fearless Blogger!
Starting very soon, I’ll be kicking off a new series on my blog called Inside the Bloggers Studio.
I’m a big time movie geek and love A&E’s Inside the Actors Studio. For those not familiar with the show:
“Inside the Actors Studio” is the Emmy-nominated, longest-running original series on the Bravo cable television channel, hosted by James Lipton . . . Since its premiere, Inside the Actors Studio has had over 200 guests. Of those guests, there have been 74 Academy Awardwinners: 8 directors; four screenwriters; 61 actors and actresses; and two musicians. While most of the show is a one-on-one interview conducted by Lipton, this is followed by the host submitting a questionnaire to the guest. The questionnaire concept was originated by French television personality Bernard Pivot, after the Proust Questionnaire.1
My favorite part is the questionnaire, which is comprised of the following questions:
- What is your favorite word?
- What is your least favorite word?
- What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
- What turns you off creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
- What sound or noise do you love?
- What sound or noise do you hate?
- What is your favorite curse word?
- What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
- What profession would you not like to do?
- If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
The way I see it, why should actors get to have all the fun?
There are plenty of other interesting folks out there whose answers I’d like to hear.
Folks in the tech industry, for example. Or Bloggers.
Keep your eyes peeled (or subscribe the Fearless Blogger) for the first installment of what I hope will be on ongoing series of different “internet personalities” sharing their answers to the very same questionnaire that has graced the lips of Hollywood A-Listers for years .
In the meantime, below are two clips for both those familiar and unfamiliar with the show to enjoy. The first, is an interview of James Lipton in which he shares his tales of being a pimp in France (yep, you read that right) and answering his own questionairre. The second is Will Ferrell doing his James Lipton impression (one which Lipton has said he is a fan of).
Stay tuned for the first installment!

Call for Nominations Now Open for “Women Changing the World” Award!
One of the most vital lessons I’ve learned this past year is the importance of reaching out for help. The Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute is accepting nominations for its “Women Changing the World” Award. As I’ve expressed in my most recent blog posts, the Women’s Leadership Institute was a life-changing experience for me. [...]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Meet Mitch Wagner
I’ll be honest with you. I’d planned to write a riveting mini-bio on today’s featured guest, Mitch Wagner.
See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
