Alan Cumming Launches An 'Old-Fashioned Salon Series'

For the record, Alan Cumming saying the word "babyism" is funny. His Scottish accent clips the vowels, so "baby" sounds like "bebe," and the "-ism" follows swiftly like the whole thing is a word everyone's familiar with. Susan Sarandon, the inaugural guest at what's set to be a monthly gathering of Cumming's friends and friends-of-friends, was confused. During the hour of conversation she and Cumming conducted Monday night in front of 30 or so onlookers in a rented-out Donald Trump bar in midtown Manhattan, nothing stumped her except the word "babyism."

(You can hear Cumming saying it in the recording below this story).
