Craig Goes Old School With Stephen Fry


Stephen Fry, Old-school british queen, does the late late show with craig ferguson with no audience or anything, like tom snyder used to do. pretty bad ass. it's weird without the live "laugh track" but you watch it, and it actually gets deep. not a lot of clips available of this episode, but you can certainly download it on pirate bay, btjunkie or demonoid if you know what i'm talking about. pretty great interview, and as much as i enjoy stephen fry NOW, i think i'll have an even greater appreciation for him in the future.


FYI, you can next see stephen (if you're an american living in the U.S., that is) doing the voice work as the cheshire cat in Tim Burton's upcoming "Alice in Wonderland" and he's also a frequent guest star on the long-running FOX dark comedy "Bones," on which he plays psychiatrist-turned-gourmet-chef Gordon Gordon. I watch that show (and LOVE IT, especially since i started A&P) and the episodes he's on tend to be season long standouts. He really is a great actor.

I've been meaning to see his portrayal of Oscar Wilde in, duh, "Wilde" for years, but am just making a point of doing it tonight. He's an absolute DEAD RINGER for the quintessentially clever "dorian gray" author (second only to dororthy parker for clever cuntyness, in my opinion, though it's a tight race) and in it he does it with a super-young jude law. I'm sure he's very good, as always.

  1. Don't forget "Stephen Fry in America" which airs on... 8? BBC? I have no idea. I have someone DVR it for me and make me dinner whilst I watch it. Fascinating! He drives, he drinks, he HATES Flordia.

  2. that sounds AWESOME! they mentioned the tie-in book he did for the show- i didn't realize it was on tv, too, i thought it was just a book. i'll have to see if i can find it online somewhere.
