Reply to comment by ampanmdagaba in Philomena Cunk interviews music experts by ENAuslender

You actually see one of them crack in the video, and Cunk admonishes her in character. I think Diane does a lot of work probably before and during to help her interviewees try to keep up with her. And there probably is a fair amount of cracking, but they edit that out. Diane is probably one of the most amazing 'straight' actresses out there in comedy.

I believe they are real experts but before they do the interview the production will tell them to answer as if Philomena was a child asking questions

Yeah, but I watched a whole bunch of little reels from her interviews yesterday and today (either there was a reddit wave, or my youtube recommendations felt my interest, or both) - and most people don't seem to be cracking up! Like the dude from the "Soviet onion" clip, for example

How do they do it I wonder? Or is it really all editing :)
