This was for CBS's "Person to Person" program, which Murrow hosted for a number of years. During the same period he hosted a serious news show for which he became famous, "See It Now." Person to Person was a celebrity interview show, and most of the interviews played out like this. The show was popular/profitable for CBS, and by hosting it Murrow took a bit of the heat off of him within CBS for his more hard-hitting reporting.
Btw, where did you find this interview, and do you have the rest?
