Understanding this quote
The speaker says good interviewing requires preparation, described as doing one’s “homework.” That preparation is also a way of respecting the viewer, who deserves a thoughtful and informed conversation. An interviewer who arrives unprepared fails that responsibility. Calling this “arrogant” suggests that ignoring the audience’s time and expectations is an overconfident form of disrespect.
