The interviewers at Hulu are curious to know what your thoughts are on cable versus streaming. Of course, there are some things that Hulu cannot yet satisfy, such as local news, or live sporting events. Talk to the interviewer about why you believe certain people have cut the cable cord, and why some are still hanging onto expensive cable solutions.

"I had cable and Hulu both, at one point. I found that cable was good for the hockey and football games that I wanted to watch and then most of my favorite shows were available to stream on Hulu. I think that most people who keep their cable have this as their reasoning."

I think people hesitate to become a true cord cutter for a couple of reasons.
1) they are intimidated
2) they still get their news and watch live sporting events on cable
going to 1) I know when my mom still had cable, it was because she didn't really truly understand what was needed to enable streaming on her tv. You need some kind of CTV device, or the more time-consuming way is to plug your laptop into your tv with an HDMI. So once we bought her an apple tv as a bday gift, she quickly understood how streaming worked from it and canceled cable, and 2) I personally don't watch live sports, so I don't care about that offering from cable. When it comes to my news, I subscribe to WSJ and the economist to get my news so I don't need cable.

Nice! It sounds like you have a clear understanding of why someone might stick with cable instead of switching to streaming. Giving an example that includes your mother makes your answer more personal and therefore meaningful and memorable to the interviewer. Great job!
