There's plenty more recent interview videos and such available.
I think it's approaching impossible that Hawking's personal assistant could pass off work for Hawking, either with or without Hawking's permission, or that the rest of the world could be bamboozled as such.

So you show a video with him just sitting there drooling, while a pre-recorded message plays and this is supposed to be proof of a live interview?

Bat shit crazy man.

What if he can't talk at all? What if they are just saying he can? What if someone is just pre-recording messages in his computer and rolling him on stage? If he can't talk, or move, there's not much he could do about it.
And I readily admit, that notion is pure conspiracy theory. But it isn't impossible.
My point before all of this got conspiracified, was that the assistant is probably doing most of the heavy lifting these days, both literally and in the realm of theoretical physics. It really can't be any other way when the guy speaks, at most, 10 words a minute.
