You really need to look this woman up and listen to her interviews. Because her routine is that she will find actual experts in various fields and then bring them into joke interviews, that they believe are completely serious. And then she delivers the most absurd questions the most straight-faced professional sounding monotone possible, and then watch people try to answer those questions without getting mad, blowing off the interview, or asking if this is a joke...

As they are lead to believe that it is serious and they don't want to look unprofessional or be the rude person.

Do they really think it's serious? I thought they knew it was a joke, but try to answer as seriously as possible

No, they are told to answer honestly and truthfully as if the questions were genuine, this is brilliant because it makes them the perfect "straight man" for the act.
