YouTube released now a preview of the Google TV interface: it's called as YouTube Leanback. "YouTube Leanback is all about letting you to sit back, relax and be entertained. Videos tailored to your interests play as soon as then you visit the site and they play in full screen and high definition, continuously. There's no need to click, search, or browse, unless you want to, of course. Watching YouTube becomes as easy as watching TV," suggests YouTube's blog.
By default, YouTube plays videos from your subscriptions, but you can also select a category to play the popular comedy videos, short films, music videos, news, travel videos and more. The interface doesn't work with a mouse, as you can only use the arrow keys and then Enter to skip a video, select a category, search, pause or resume a video. YouTube Leanback will work well with the Google TV's remote control, but you can also install an application like Air Mouse on your mobile phone.

Leanback is not the first YouTube interface designed for TVs: there's also YouTube XL, but the interface isn't fluid and there are too many options that get in the way.
