First of all — did you know James Lipton was a pimp in France?

After befriending a prostitute in Paris, he became a pimp, saying this about that year in his life: "I did a roaring business, and I was able to live for a year. The French mecs didn’t exploit women. They represented them, like agents. And they took a cut. That’s how I lived. I was going through my rites of passage, no question about it. It was a great year of my life.”
