"Exit Interview" is the tenth episode and season finale of the fifth season of the American mockumentary comedy horror television series What We Do in the Shadows, set in the franchise of the same name. It is the 50th overall episode of the series and was written by producer Jake Bender, producer Zach Dunn, executive producer Sam Johnson, supervising producer Sarah Naftalis and executive producer Paul Simms, and directed by Tig Fong. It was released on FX on August 31, 2023, airing back-to-back with the previous episode "A Weekend at Morrigan Manor".
The series is set in Staten Island, New York City. Like the 2014 film, the series follows the lives of vampires in the city. These consist of three vampires, Nandor, Laszlo, and Nadja. They live alongside Colin Robinson, an energy vampire; and Guillermo, Nandor's familiar. The series explores the absurdity and misfortunes experienced by the vampires. In the episode, Guillermo flees from an irate Nandor, who intends to kill him for getting Derek to turn him into a vampire.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.194 million household viewers and gained a 0.05 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received critical acclaim, with critics praising the resolution to Guillermo's arc, although some felt that the series rehashed previous storylines.
