1. Get into your character's shoes. Change your posture, place yourself in the right setting, and add a prop. Think about your audience - how you can make your character real for them? Remember, be reverent to your character; you should not be making fun of your character.
2. Try to create the right tone and mood. If the story is funny and light-hearted, show this through your tone and actions.
3. First, do a run-through; practice reading the entire monologue to your partner. Use the right gestures, body language, tone of voice, etc.
4. Next, memorize and practice the first 3-4 sentences of your monologue. Practice with your partner; work on revising and improving the performance.
5. Finally, keep practicing. Listen to/watch the interview a few more times to get the tone of voice and gestures right.
6. Bring in props and costumes.
