Thanks to Ann for calling this to my attention and to Chianti for posting over at Club-K:
According to an ad in the New York Times, Keanu will be a guest on Inside The Actors Studio. The taping is scheduled for May 10th. A TV airdate will be confirmed at a later date.media spot | from inside the mind of krix at January 23, 2004 02:04 PM .
Wow..I'd never think that he'd be asked to go on the show but now that he will be on it'll be awesome... The host can ask some really great and trivially styled questions; it should be a wonderfully entertaining watch!!
Posted by: stacey717 on January 23, 2004 02:38 PMKrix you have got to get cable for this! A whole hour long discussion with just Keanu! A whole hour to watch him being his adorable animated self! OH, I don't think I can wait til summer for this! :-)
Posted by: Lisa on January 23, 2004 02:42 PMIf I had cable, I'd never get anything done. I watch WAY too much TV anyway. I'll probably just go to Roi's place or have him tape it for me.
Posted by: krix on January 23, 2004 02:55 PMstacey717, I thought the same thing. I would watch the show and think "Gosh, Keanu would be so great to see in this format!" but NEVER imagined it to actually happen. He is so maligned by just about everyone, regarding his acting ability, that I didn't think the "acting community" would allow him the invitation. I'm so glad to see it happen! He will *completely* charm everyone there.
Posted by: r.j.girl on January 23, 2004 04:31 PMYeah, hopefully he'll be open to the host and not start off cold as sometimes people in general can in interviews; I'm sure this'll be a great interview! (A while ago I watched one with the cast of Will & Grace and it was hilarious! I can't wait for this one in May:D)
Posted by: stacey717 on January 23, 2004 04:37 PMYep, I can't wait. Every time I think about it, I envision Will Ferrell from Saturday Night Live doing his James Lipton impression. Did you ever see that? Soooo funny!
Posted by: r.j.girl on January 23, 2004 07:40 PMDon't get cable just for this, krix..*sniff* My schtoopid cable company (that's TIME WARNER, idiots) does not have Bravo, either on regular or digital cable. Can you believe it? Nope, we get the Golf Channel. We get the Soaps channel. We probably get the 24-hour barbecue channel.
At least I have some months to try to figure out how to get this taped by a responsible party who will actually tape it. Don't know if I can trust my brothers on this one!
The really weird thing is, *yesterday* I was talking to a friend who had seen Charlize Theron on ITAS (on tv) while visiting New York last weekend and we both thought that they'd never invite Keanu. Ha! I say again, Ha!
This is almost too cosmic and exciting for words.
Posted by: bakednudel on January 23, 2004 07:55 PMIs there any possibility that I can see this too? I live in Holland and that means I miss all the Keanu stuff. If anybody has any idea of how I can see this too, please mail me: senorita_shanice@hotmail.com
Posted by: Shanice on January 24, 2004 03:25 AMFinally! I love watching that show.
Pardon Me for my Sarcasm, but I suppose Ashton Kutcher was busy that week?
Posted by: Tabitha on January 24, 2004 06:57 AMLMAO@TABITHA... ASHTON KUTCHER?? yikes!.. I'm sure glad, Keanu wasn't THAT busy not to accept the offer..
:)
I know that getting cable for 1 show is a little silly (ok, a lot silly!), but wouldn't it be cool if they could hook you up for one show, kinda like a pay per view type thing! I guess I'd better start my own cable company for that sort of thing. LOL
I'm just glad that Keanu is getting this opportunity. He is very deserving of it! :)
Posted by: Lisa on January 25, 2004 02:10 PMNew trend on ITAS: Pin-up Week. Keanu, Depp, Orlando Bloom, Ashton Kutcher....three more for a 7-day squeefest. I wonder what Lipton would make of
Posted by: Spike on January 25, 2004 02:17 PMKrix, too bad you don't live in Maryland - I could hook you up with FREE cable for such an incredible event....yes, I do have the power to authorize free cable once in a while......... only for Keanu lovers though. fare enough, ha?
