Interview with the Hulk is episode fifteen in season four of the live-action TV series The Incredible Hulk. It originally aired on April 3, 1981 on CBS.
Summary
Emmerson Fletcher, a great reporter who's career nose-dived after the death of his daughter Lisa finds himself working for the National Register—much to the annoyance of Jack McGee. While McGee is out of the office, Fletcher steals one of McGee's Hulk leads and discovers that David Banner is very much alive. Fletcher blackmails David into telling his story. Though reluctant at first, the two learn to respect each other and recognize each other's pain. Unfortunately, McGee learns what happens and is hot on both of their trails.

Trivia
The visual pun on a notice within the National Register headquarters that the publisher is "Robert B. Steinhauer", which is also the name of the show's producer.
