Halfway
In the first half (2 minutes and 30 seconds) there were 19 cuts of 4 types. They cut to a wide shot 4 times, to the interviewer 5 times, to the guest 9 times and to another guest once. The cuts to the interviewer were partly to show some of him asking the questions and along with the cut to the other guest was to have a reaction shot to something funny the guest said. The wide show was used to show any hand gestures and if they wanted to show both the guest talking and interviewer reacting at the same time. Most of the interview was cutting back to the guest talking, so had a close-up of his torso to the top of the head.
