James Franco just made history on "Inside the Actors Studio." Tickets to see him were in such high demand, that the staff literally rejected a record number of people.
Hundreds of "industry professionals" tried to get tickets to the show, but the staff ended up having to reject more than 250 people. The purchasable tickets sold out too. I apparently missed the memo on James Franco being the most popular actor. Ever.
The interview is set to air next month and according to the staff, Franco was such an awesome guest that, "James stayed another hour-and-a-half after the taping and talked to every single student and fan who wanted to talk."
Our source noted, "No one has done that since Paul Newman ... the very first guest that ever appeared on the show."
But of course, it's the hitches and boes that were going nuts over James Franco. During the taping, James Lipton stopped the interview, and said, "17 years filming this show and I've never heard a sound like that before." What? Mr. Lipton, you've never heard a screaming hot chick before? I wonder why...
