Are those production lights behind them?...they almost look like heat lamps

I have a feeling they've been made to look interesting.... I was going to say cool....... It looks like a square sort of filament so maybe a led in an old headlamp body
 
They are "set design" lights...not meant for talent lighting. Heat lamps??? Dunno.

Pretty much a fail from a production design standpoint IMHO - you want the audience to listen to what the subjects have to say, not spend all their attention speculating about what the weird set pieces are supposed to represent. And dig those old college lecture hall chairs they're sitting in. As I remember, they were uncomfortable 40 years ago, and haven't improved any with age!

Not necessarily. It's probably safe to say that most of us(in this business) watch TV and movies differently than the average person. The average person at home probably doesn't give two craps about the set pieces/design, "how'd they do that?", etc., but people like us do. Hence the OP's question. I try to lose myself in movies and shows, but invariably I find myself thinking about things like that, especially when it comes to interview set-ups, because they make up a large portion of my work.
 
My guess is the practicals are using incandescent bulbs, or tungsten globes, that are dimmed very low, which in turn drives the color temperature down.

Also there appears to be some sort of translucent diffuser in front of the bulb/globe that’s bouncing much of the light back into the reflector, in a manner similar to Beauty Dish’s deflector.
