Video taking off 12x its usual first day

Anne Hathaway thought Verity was a rom-com, and Fallon's clip runs twelve times past usual

Her Tonight Show visit, with a pregnancy kept quiet through The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour and a signed Knicks jersey, spread into several of the day's fastest starters.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 299,666 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (24,156).

"Anne Hathaway Addresses Her Viral Mom-Mode Verity Red Carpet Moment" is the main interview from her latest stop at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. It passed 300,000 views in its first day, about twelve times what a new clip on the channel usually draws.

The title points at the red carpet, but the description lists three stories. She talks about finding out she was pregnant just before the press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2 began. She describes being credited with a Knicks playoff win. And she explains why she went into Verity thinking it was a romantic comedy, an odd assumption for an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's psychological thriller, in which she stars opposite Dakota Johnson.

The Knicks thread did not stay a story. Another short from the same night shows Jimmy handing her a jersey signed by OG Anunoby, and in the comments viewers point out that she put it on. They also mention the moment Jimmy talks to the baby, and many run through her year film by film: the Prada sequel, The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street and now Verity.

The visit carried the channel's day. Her round of the game Best Thing Ever and a short about her sharpened sense of smell during pregnancy both ran far ahead of a usual start. So did the night's monologue, about an AI pact and a government chatbot site. Riz Ahmed and musical guest Alex Warren, performing "CRY WOLF," shared the same episode, but Hathaway was the one people came for.
