I watched the Youtube version, which is a little longer, and Matthews goes on for about a half-minute describing the leg-thrill incident. Seemed a bit defensive about it to me - ended with a pouty statement something along the lines of “and now they’re making fun of me for it”. But … maybe defensiveness is in the eye of the beholder.

As to the hypnotized part, do you suppose he REALLY thought she’d been hypnotized? Or was it a rhetorical and snarky question? I can’t imagine a serious journalist dismissing the idea that she wanted to say what SHE wanted to say, no matter what he asked … and instead going with the notion that The Amazing Kreskin got a hold of her.
