I agree, Erika, truly unimaginable.

We once went to the studio taping just as a crew member lit up this long horizontal bar. It went POOF! and expelled this cloud of smoke. We watched it curl up into the air, filling the soundstage.

I suppose its what helps provide the filmic atmosphere to the taped shows. Do any of the other talk shows have that same look? (I don’t think they do, but I’m not a regular watcher of the other shows.)

That’s so sweet. What I want to know is, who is calling him unambitious?

Omg, I hope that they’re not in the prevailing wind direction. That would be awful for the staff.

While we waited in line, the horses hooves made a lovely sound as they clopped on by.

a new set…I’m sad already! this one is so comfy and cozy. I mean I can just see a still from it and I’l all “ahhh, TCR.” I’m glad I got to see it in person when I got to a taping in 2008. now I will watch all the episodes with an eye for the environment!

“I’ve been accused of being unambitious, but what I do takes up every minute.”

I have read this a couple of times and my response is “Who the heck accuses him of being unambitious?” Was Stephen being sarcastic when he said this, because I think he’s the hardest-working man in show business!

Oh, I’m not sure if I want more seating. The small size makes it intimate and means you’re relatively close to Stephen no matter where you’re sitting:)

@bologna: I heard there’s an actual stable nearby. No kidding. Check out interview with Liam Neeson and Jon.

Reading this interview makes me all the more excited to see him at the benefit on Sunday!
I always love when interviewers comment on how soft-spoken and humble Stephen is – it’s like they’re discovering what we already know. :)
The “Yup. I’m an actor. I hate to blow everyone’s illusions.” line was my favorite from the article – I laughed so hard when I read it. I also loved the line: “I’m not here to affect you politically or socially. I’m here to make you laugh.” Shows how committed he still is to the joke, which makes me a happy person. :)
I was just wondering last week when he was going to get a new set! Definitely excited to see it!
