The backstory: Richard Ayoade was on TV to promote his new book Ayoade on Ayoade.

Well, really, he wanted to talk about the constructed nature of the media interview, by way of a similarly awkward interview with Quentin Tarantino. Some things he didn't want to talk about (but did): his book, diversity in the media, and immigration from Norway.

Guru Murthy has now published a blog about the interview, in which he confirms the whole thing was – as you probably realised – set up.
