For tonight’s Late Movies, here are five clips of interviews with fictional characters conducted by real people.  Some characters, like the satirical pundit Stephen Colbert portrays nightly, are very natural.  But then there’s stuff like this:

Here’s Barbara Walters interviewing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s awkwardly excellent.

The Muppets are interviewed during the promotion of their Wizard of Oz movie.

Sacha Baron Cohen appears on CNN as Borat.

The aforementioned Stephen Colbert is interviewed by David Letterman.

And finally, here’s Triumph the Insult Comic Dog doing the weather in Hawaii.

  4. Zack Morris on the Jimmy Fallon show was greatness. Of course, I’m a Saved by the Bell aficionado, so it may have meant more to me than others.

  5. @Helder: thanx for those links!!! I love the TPB, but I don’t really like strombolopolous – he’s too pretentious for me.

  6. Martin Short had a television serious devoted to fake interviews. I personally am glad he was cancelled.

  8. Ha! A cartoon Oprah interviewed Homer Simpson… and he kept calling her “Okra”!
    Now that’s funny!
