It's comical only because Hislop is hopelessly incapable of adapting to interview pitch. He goes into everything in a 'political debate' mode, but becomes very defensive when faced with a more personal approach.
I thought the questions were better than most. Regarding his reticence about some personal details I think he's under any obligation to share more than he want to.
I always feel if I was to meet Ian in person I'd be laughing before he said anything , he's just got that sort of face !
Hislop comes across as a person who’s never been in a physical confrontation.
Such a likable man.
Quel Surpris ! "Our" Ian reveals less than the other 220 people interviewed in this format !
Ian Hislop The Nation thanks you
One of the greatest satirists
Hislop.
The Smugmeister General.
After what Hislop and Merton did to Angus Deyton I detest them both
AND ON THE SIXTH DAY GOD CREATED IAN HISLOP😇😂👌
The interviewer's questions are so strange, almost childish and nervous. Ian is clear not impressed, it's comical really
Ollie Jabore Because it's just a little light-entertainment fluff piece series for a website. They're not going for Frost/Nixon.
