I think Festus was the real one and Ken Curtis was the character. Anyway, he seems really humble when he's talking as himself, everybody said he was the nicest dude ever.
It's pretty annoying when people refer to Matt as a "sheriff" rather than a Marshal.
Ken Curtis stuck to the roleplay hard and when she said that, he was like "Matthew??" because he knew anyone watching would catch her mistake, and he's there playing it up for the fans, not the interviewer.
5:49 he starts talking about Gunsmoke. He says "They only want it to look real. We try to make it a semi-documentary."
6:37 you can tell by the look on his face, he fucking loves the show.
I didn't really listen to Buck Taylor's part in this because I haven't even seen him on the show yet.
This appears to be the only Ken Curtis interview on YouTube. There are other videos of him singing, but no interviews as far as I can tell.
