This was one of my very favourite interviews that Stephen has conducted. Mainly because the guy almost made Stephen cry with his super-touching story about being a stutterer as a child and the only creatures he could talk to without his stutter were his animals. So he made them a promise that when he grew up and found his voice, he would give them one. Darn-it .. now I'm getting weepy too! Fabbo interview - go find it on the Comedy Network.
