Will Ferrell plays James Lipton from Inside the Actors Studio. He does such a deadpan rendition of Lipton that this skit is worth how painful Alec Baldwin is. Alec Baldwin plays Charles Nelson Riley and regretfully to admit, it is one of the most annoying skits I have ever seen. If it weren’t for Ferrell playing Lipton, I would have shut it off! Just watch to hear Ferrell say “Scrumtralescent!”
