Chet,
Depending on the location of your interview you might be able to get away with one lamp and a reflector. If you can key your subject using natural light from a nearby window you can use the reflector for fill. You can then either use a single light as a back/rim light to lift the subject from the background or as a background light. That way you might be able to schlep one of your "Home Depot" lights along. It's a 3-point system on the cheap and can be just as effective.
FWIW, my favorite setup is a Lowell Caselight as the key, a Photoflex disc for fill, a Lowell Omni as a back light and, if necessary, another Omni or a Tota for background. Since the Caselight is a flourescent panel it's much cooler (and more comfortable for the subject) than using a filament lamp for a key. I generally use CT-blue gels on the Omnis and the Tota to balance to the Caselight.
