No clue how you got that impression. I suffer from the same second-hand emabarassment as well (which prevents me from enjoying most western 'look at how stupid and dumb and embarassing the MCs are'-comedies), but its not being triggered in the slightest by her. The interviewees 100% percent know that they're being fucked with.

Yeah, I don't think anyone is confused that it's a comedy interview, are they? I can't imagine they can do it all in one take without anyone cracking up.

She's a reasonably famous comedian since The IT Crowd, too.

I feel the same way. She is also way too well known for any expert to be fooled into thinking it's going to be a serious interview
