James Lipton steps down as host of 'Inside the Actors Studio': Top 5 moments from the show

The show which has been on air since 1994, will move from Bravo to Ovation for its 23rd season in 2019

'Inside the Actors Studio' has been quite popular as the revolutionary in-conversation series, where actors have elaborately spoken exclusively about their craft. For years, host James Lipton had carried forward the almost 24-year long legacy of the show, which has been on air since 1994, but sadly - he won't be reprising his role as the moderator in the upcoming season 23 of the show, which moves from Bravo to Ovation.

Over the years, Lipton had grown to be the earnest emblem of the show, and without him, it's quite hard to fathom at this point how the show would go on. And perhaps, due to resonating with similar feelings, the show bosses have decided on a rotating cast of guest hosts to appear on the program, reports Vulture.
