Needed to revisit this for a good laugh. Mizrahi is so hilarious in this. So clearly lusting after Rufus, LOL. Especially funny are Mizrahi's expressions when Rufus is on the piano. And the dog is the icing on the cake. Oh well, at least Isaac has good taste.
I love how Rufus has his eyes closed for almost the whole performance, looking like he's being carried away by the music. And his voice is truly magnificent...
I think he was trying to shut out the image of Isaac drooling all over his piano. It was the only way he could concentrate on his song. Mizrahi is clearly enamored with Mr. Wainwright, but I don't think the sentiment is mutual!!! And the dog running around is hilarious.
Omg even as a baby child here Rufus Wainwright hits the minor chords hauntingly and it melts my heart to the cory-est core crazy Cory SILLYHEART21 Spekka-Lange-Duhjst and here I leave the DaVinci code/Rosetta Stone so that I might be found AKA somewhere I pray find me whomever catches my Cosmic Frisbee. Will you let it pass or do you dare to dream and reach up to the stars and grasp it firmly before I stray out into a wormhole of oblivion? I hope you do. You know who you are. Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air ....
that would have suited the doco. Grey Gardens so well. The story goes that when asked what she would call the baby and she saidRufus her friend said That's a dogs name!
Anybody else reminded of Ewan McGregor watching this interview? I mean the smiling face and the voice (but not the accent)... the similarity almost makes me think they belong to a certain human appearance type.
The talent that you need to play that long a song on a piano with your eyes close whilst singing, is certaiinly immense, only thing that other guy is smothering him and it makes the whole thing uncomfortable x
Rufus is so talented, but handsome as hell too. I can understand why Isaac is trying to put the moves on him. But Rufus ain't having none of it. Isaac comes across as a dirty old man in this, but I love his dog! "Are you well enough? Are you warm enough?" What,- is Isaac Rufus' doctor??? This interview is hilarious only because Isaac is such a doofus and "in lust" with Rufus.
My question is what is that thing on Rufus's hip? It looks like it's either a walkie-talkie or an iPhone, but this was 2002 and the iPhone hadn't been invented yet and why on earth would a guy like Rufus have a walkie-talkie? That's what I would like to know!
Isaac Mizrahi is so awkward in this interview (and often was during his interviews for his show), so much so that he's unlikable. He's more endearing when he's just being himself - Unzipped is a good doc.
Can't believe he asked "Who gave you that name ?"
Who did he think gave him his name ?
He did say did your parents give it you, or did you make it up?
he is just ridiculously beautiful.....
What a great interview. I am so glad I found it. His voice is perfection.
I've been watching this for years and years and I still end up with my face covered in tears... Hilarious!
And I love this version of Grey Gardens ❤️
Rufus has been beautiful since he was a toddler. He is still, at 50 years old, remarkably handsome.
"he just drifted off.."
"he just died!"
"no...he didn't die"
XD i love this interview!
Yes, he was ridiculously beautiful, and still is very handsome.
when he talks you never imagine that singing voice.....so brilliant
absolutely adorable interview, a classic. how could you not be enamored by rufus?
Discovered this video years ago and so grateful because it introduced me to Rufus
same! and tomorrow i go to his concert for his "poses" tour :-)
Greatest. Interview. Ever.

The ending is perfect. 'That was like a poem.' 'Oh.'
So Young and Gorgeous Talented. Rufus❤️
Genius, the music.
I LOVED this show! I remember watching this when it first aired.
I LOVE how engaged the interviewer is 😂. Like genuinely enthusiastically interested
You have to congratulate Rufus for keeping a straight face during this dreadful interview.
LOOL, truly.. was thinking the same thing. he has lots of strength.
Rufus is not only an amazing songwriter and OG nepo bb but also an improviser and comedian. Love this lmao
this is the single gayest interview ever... love it!
Can I just watch this over and over again until I die?
Bless these two girl's hearts.
They are male
Who wrote the questions? The dog?
Hey hey hey don't insult the dog. It's smart, unlike its owner. :)
This was a great show. Miss it.
Wooooooow!!! His parents named him??? SHOCKER
Isaac wants a piece of Rufus, it's obvious!
He looks about ready to take a bite out of him 🙂
Fab interview. Rufus clearly can tell Isaac wants to jump his bones, and he doesn't like the dog x
Magnifique !!👌❤
4:20
Shall we saunter over to the piano?

Issac Mizrahi - give Rufus some space. Y'all up in his grill while he is singing
what a funny laugh
that would have suited the doco. Grey Gardens so well. The story goes that when asked what she would call the baby and she saidRufus her friend said That's a dogs name!
Although..... sorry to be pedantic, but if it is his favourite movue surely he would know that the Beales are not sisters.....

They're both so awkward in this interview.
yeah pretty epic. rufus looks/sounds so unimpressed.

Isaac Mizrah that is...
Maybe his mother was visited by the Angel Gabriel?
Lol

Katherine Dupoise probably a receiver for the mic on his shirt
maybe he was checking if he had a hangover or needed a new T shirt?
FYI - Rufus was heavily cracked out at this time.
A little bit stoned.

I love how the interviewer is displacing all his attraction by molesting the dog. I feel ya. I'd be doing the same.
The interviewer is so annoying, he makes Rufus sound like a straight man (sorry if that offends anyone, I don't mean it too) x
What a weird creep that interviewer was....awful
The interviewer is hopeless he's far too camp
gay?
