What do you call those 'interview' shots?

I'm curious about what you all feel the differences are (if any) between different terms used to describe the standard "interview" shot, for example, in a corporate video where there is one person on screen speaking with some B-roll laid on top. Some of the terms I've heard are "talking heads," "interviews," "stand-ups," "one-offs," and "host shots." I'm sure there are more terms out there. Are there differences between these terms? Is it more appropriate to use one over another for different situations?
