Westword
From
Michael Roberts' interview with "The Daily Show" correspondent
John Oliver (left):
Westword: When you sit down to interview someone, do you pull them aside before hand and say, "You do know I’m going to be making fun of you relentlessly throughout this, don’t you?"
John Oliver: No! No! Absolutely not. I try and spend as little time with the person before as possible, so you just walk in and start the interview. It’s an interesting process, those interviews. They are usually as tense as they look. I do a series of interviews with U.N. ambassadors, and they were incredible. They'd literally never been spoken like this before.
