The Interview previews Olivia Wilde as daily views jump
Playful trailers for the actor and director's Saturday conversation arrive alongside a channel-wide surge that goes well beyond their own audiences.
Why this story? The whole channel is running at 1,755,445 views a day, 11 times a normal day (165,389).
Coming this Saturday … Olivia Wilde will be camera-ready. We’re not so sure about David.

Olivia Wilde will be camera-ready. David Marchese? The Interview's teaser is less certain about him. Another preview promises Wilde the last laugh, setting a playful tone for her conversation scheduled for November 14.
The New York Times interview channel is also having an unusually busy viewing day: roughly 1.8 million views, more than ten times its usual daily audience. The Wilde previews have drawn comparatively small audiences, so they don't account for that channel-wide leap.
Wilde, who directed Don't Worry Darling as well as acting in it, follows a distinctly different guest: Georgia Governor-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms. The channel has continued posting excerpts from Bottoms's conversation with Lulu Garcia-Navarro, including her account of civil rights leader Andrew Young's emotional response to her election victory.
That shift from governing to filmmaking is built into The Interview's Saturday schedule. For Wilde's appearance, though, the advance material keeps things light: its running joke is as much about the interviewer getting ready as the guest.
