Stephen Fry just said "Kneel before Zod." And compared Terrence Stamp to yaks.
Every time I think I can't love him more, he proves me wrong.

What is even happening?
I've had to slap around a number of improvisers for taking the cheap road, etc, against our stated policy--but that's improv. I'd be more than slapping around anyone that's prepping their work before delivering it.I'm pretty sure I read recently that Ferguson improvises his opening monologue.

Wow, look at all these skippers and skimmers.
In short, it's a British quiz (game) show hosted by Stephen Fry. Contestants are given points for interesting answers, regardless of whether they're true, and penalized for obvious answers. Some are available on YouTube.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure I read recently that Ferguson improvises his opening monologue.
I bet he knows what he was going to talk about before he got up there. He might not know how, and he might riff deviate from his intentions, but if he knows what a long time before, it's not like the improvisers I had to slap around--they were operating on information they'd just received.
And if he does go up there blank, then that's bravery, but he'd still be up for slapping around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
John Dillinger escaped from prison by carving a gun out of a potato.
He was eventually shot in front of a movie theater in Chicago. There's a display there now.

Woody Allen based the soap gag in "Take the Money and Run" on the Dillinger story. (So Stephen Fry tells me.)
