   	It was extremely funny, although I don't think it can be   
   called an interview.  It was more of a comedy bit played out with   
   the superstructure of an interview.  It could've been done as a   
   comic monologue almost as well, though perhaps to worse effect,   
   which leaves me wondering what it was written for.
