You really need to look this woman up and listen to her interviews. Because her routine is that she will find actual experts in various fields and then bring them into joke interviews, that they believe are completely serious. And then she delivers the most absurd questions the most straight-faced professional sounding monotone possible, and then watch people try to answer those questions without getting mad, blowing off the interview, or asking if this is a joke...
As they are lead to believe that it is serious and they don't want to look unprofessional or be the rude person.
This is not true. The experts know in advance its a comedy thing, they just dont know what the questions will be.
Most of them have been on her shows multiple times, as well. So they tend to have previous experience with her, on top of already being aware.
