Then record the questions "actually in the room".
(Or in a similar room after the fact.)

The professionals do this by re-recording the questions
in the same room with the same microphone, after the
interview is done.

Note that the famous US "news" show "60 Minutes" got
in big trouble for editing in *different* questions than
were originlly asked. Now their policy is to re-record
the questions while the the interviewee sits there. :-)

First, you have to ask yourself whether it is really
important to *hide* the microphone. TV viewers
are pretty sophisticated. They know that it takes a
microphone to be able to hear what is on the screen.
Note that a wireless microphone has exactly the
same wire between the micropone and the belt
pack transmitter. :-)

No practical way. People with unlimited budgets
don't even try this.
