The analysis allowed the author to identify three stages of an interview: an opening stage, a key stage - discussion and a final stage. The specificity of these stages is described considering their structure, functioning, typical strategies and speech stereotypes. Moreover, the author identifies the type of an entertaining political interview which is characterized by deviations from the established parameters.
