da ali g show. not entirely interviews of people in the public sphere, but a significant portion are.
Not sure how weird the concept is, but the parody/satire chat show was fairly popular in the UK. Dame Edna Everage was probably the best, as celebrities were disarmed by talking to an actor always in character (and in drag). But there were others where the character was more subtle, like Mrs Merton or Keith Barrett, and celebrities looked pretty uncomfortable at times.
Of course, Ali G (and Borat and Bruno) were probably the most extreme examples of parody interviews.
Not sure if interview segments (rather than shows) count. Dennis Pennis literally just went up and insulted celebrities, usually at red carpet premieres. And there were interviews conducted by puppets - such as Zig and Zag - that got celebrities confused and off guard. But I can't think of anything more recent that is like any of the above.
Carol Burnett had an interview show back in the day. She was good at it, pulling out great stories from her interviewees with empathy.
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was an interesting premise but I never cared for the actual result as much as some people did. I think I just didn't like Jerry Seinfeld, even before he started whining about how out of touch he is with anyone under 30.
Seth Meyer's day drinking with celebrities bits. His one with Rihanna stands out against the others.
Check the UK.
TaskMaster. 8 out of 10 cats Golden balls.
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
Eric Andre show?
Any language, any medium (TV, internet, etc), any year.
"Inas Nacht"'
Northern German dialect in a super tiny old sailor's pub. Real, no backdrop. They drink real alcohol, any kind the guest prefers, and no topic has ever been taboo. From 2007 and ongoing on TV (some on youtube).

Northern German dialect
Weird question: I notice she pronounces the g in Hamburg with the ich-Laute, like Hamburch. I hear this all the time where I am, but we’re definitely not northern.
Does anyone know if that’s done everywhere in Germany or is it most commonly done in the north?
There are several regions where the g at the end of a word is pronounced like ch. In the north, it sounds different (stronger).
I wish I could understand German. Because the video seems fun and yeah that's a pretty odd setting for a show that large.
Space Ghost Coast to Coast
Max Headroom had a chat show for a short time.
Chicken Shop Dates has a weired premise I think
I saw some weird interview show on youtube where they spent the whole time eating ultra spicy chicken wings while interviewing
Hot Ones
I really likes "Between two ferns" with Zach Galifianakis.
They even got to interview Obama.
I wanna be a Hilton
Does Hot Ones count as a game show?
