Couch Surfing is a PeopleTV show hosted by Lola Ogunnaike that debuted in 2018. The premise of the show is to take viewers on a journey through the homes of some of the biggest stars in entertainment, where they discuss the most pivotal roles in their careers and their journeys to stardom.

One of the notable episodes that garnered a lot of attention and rave reviews was the Daniel Radcliffe episode. Lola Ogunnaike took her viewers on a tour of Radcliffe's New York City apartment, starting from the entrance doors to his living room, which was styled with neutrals and a minimalist feel.

The cozy atmosphere set the tone for the rest of the show, and Ogunnaike kicked off the interview by asking Radcliffe what his favorite roles have been during his time in the entertainment industry. Radcliffe talked about his role in the Harry Potter series, which he noted allowed him to grow up on camera and surrounded by the Harry Potter fan base.

However, Radcliffe was keen to emphasize that his days don't entirely revolve around Harry Potter. He talked about some of his other favorite roles, such as his role in the film Swiss Army Man, arguing that it opened up doors for him and allowed him to experiment with what he could do in front of the camera.

The conversation quickly moved to a focus on how Radcliffe manages to deal with the huge fan base he still has, despite wrapping up his time with Harry Potter. Even though he finished being part of the franchise a while ago, the actor still gets approached by die-hard Harry Potter fans who still recognize him on the street, and he stated that he is always surprised by it.

Lola also probed about his theatre experience, noting that he has acted in Sidney Lumet's 2007 revival of the play, Equus. Radcliffe highlighted how important that role was for him. He talked about how it taught him to open up more as an actor and depicted deep-seated personal issues that were sometimes hard to handle.

Throughout the show, there was a charismatic energy between the host and the actor. She created a comfortable environment, where Radcliffe was able to share with ease his interesting experiences and key roles. In turn, the viewer is provided with an intimate look into his life, his roles and how he handles his on and off-screen persona.

Overall, Couch Surfing is a revelatory show, showcasing big personalities in the entertainment industry in their natural habitat. Through Ogunnaike's thoughtful interviewing skills, viewers are provided with a unique insight into the opinions, lives and thought-processes of A-listers.
