I have been offered a last minute job tonight about filming an event, but with shitty lighting. The event will just be interviews, but it'll be in a room with poor lighting, so I need to get a continuous light of some sort.

Any ideas? Thoughts? Let me know so I can take this job!
 
Rent an ARRI KIT from a rental house. Make sure it comes with a softbox/softbank.
You'll have to pay a little extra if you do not have rental insurance in place. But it's kind of like renting a car, and paying for the one time insurance... This differs from rental house to rental house.
If there are no film and video rental places anywhere near you, you could contact a still photographer and ask if they have softboxes for their lights with built in "Modeling lamps". These bulbs are generally 250 watts in size, and should make for a pleasing key light...Just thinking out loud...
Make sure their (Still photographer) lights/strobes do not have built in cooling fans, as this would certainly create audio issues while filming.
 
How much would a low levl light cost? Since I don't know any photgraphers and no rental places around me now. There is the B&H super store by me, which I could buy one (which I need anyways for night time skate filming), but don't want to drop a bunch unless it's a steal.
