INTERVIEW (TALK SHOW)

a.      Introduction

Interview is a conversation in which one person (the interviewer) elicits information from another person (the subject or interviewee)

Talk show is a television or radio show in which noted people, such as authorities in a particular field, participate in discussions or are interviewed and often answer questions from viewers or listeners.

Talk shows often interview celebrities to give their fans a closer look into their lives. Some good talk show interview questions are when they were born, where they came from and how big their family is. Bad questions to ask are ones that involve their salary and sexual orientation.

The interviewer can ask about their life , style , hair , the world , what do you do (job) , what do you think of what going on in the world , if you are an actor or actress what is your next project , their family life , how many kids do they have , what kind of hobbies do you have , etc .
