Was talking about hot ones and how the premise isn’t totally random for the states. Got to thinking about what celebrity interview shows exist out there that are actually fucking bonkers but my googling didn’t turn anything up.

So anyone know of any truly weird premises that have been produced? Any language, any medium (TV, internet, etc), any year. Disqualifying factors would be, it can’t be scripted (like between two ferns), and the primary reason the interviewee is there has to be for the interview (as in no game shows). It should also be primarily interviewing celebrities and important people, but that can be a soft rule.

(I’m especially hoping for some bonkers premises from Japan.)

    They are more game shows but have a lot of interviews. My fav moment was “carrot in a box from 8 out of 19 cats”. Look it up and you will lol
