The Morning X concludes their legendary interview with Warren Beatty, who refuses to perform a "party trick" while taking another jab at Dustin Hoffman’s desperate need for attention. Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy seek validation for a risqué joke they once told the Dalai Lama to his face, prompting Beatty to critique the punchline and suggest trying it on the Pope next. Finally, the conversation takes a turn when Jimmy recounts a solicitation attempt at a Hollywood Kinko's, leading the screen legend to psychoanalyze the interaction and question whether the "woman" involved was actually a female.
This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
