10th Hunger Games
The interviews were introduced in the 10th Hunger Games as The Hunger Games: A Night of Interviews, hosted by Lucretius Flickerman, a colorful weatherman from Capitol TV. It was held before a live audience at the Academy and broadcast throughout Panem. At the time of these Games, the Games were not generally popular with citizens of the Capitol and these interviews were an attempt to change that, along with the introduction of the mentorship program, as well as sponsorships and betting on the tributes. It was hoped that by getting to know the tributes better, the audience would become more interested in their fates. The mentors also appeared alongside their tributes for these interviews, due to the newness of the mentorship program, which for these games featured top-performing students from the Academy.
Before the interviews were even held, a number of tributes had already died, many of them in an explosion during a tour of the Capitol Arena. Thus, there were only a limited number of interviews and each tribute and mentor pair were given a maximum of ten minutes. Lysistrata Vickers had her tribute, Jessup Diggs, lift her over his head to demonstrate his strength. Io Jaspers tribute, Circ, revealed that he could start a fire with his glasses and Io suggested angles and times of day that would be conducive to this. Juno Phipps admitted that she was at first disappointed to get the male tribute from District 8, Bobbin, until he told her that he knew five different ways to kill someone with a sewing needle. The girl from District 4, Coral, put on a show with a broomstick to demonstrate how she might kill using a trident. Domitia Whimsiwick engaged the interest of the crowd by having her tribute, Tanner, talk bout his experience in slaughterhouse techniques.
The highlight of the evening, however, was Coriolanus Snow with Lucy Gray Baird. The two appeared together, Coriolanus in a neatly pressed uniform and Lucy Gray Baird in her rainbow dress which had been expertly repaired and spiffed up by Coriolanuss cousin, Tigris. Lucy Gray Baird than sang a song she had composed herself, words set to an old tune, called “The Ballad of Lucy Gray Baird.” By the time she was down, one could hear a pin drop in the auditorium. Coriolanus knew that the song would make sponsor gifts pour in for her, but the song also made him deeply jealous, due to its reference to a lost lover.[1]

Question:
How does Katniss interview go in The Hunger Games?
After the 74th Hunger Games
Peeta and Katniss both appear for the post-Games interview. Katniss is told by Haymitch Abernathy that they must act as though they are madly in love and that she would rather have died than to lose Peeta. Due to their heroic “berry scene,” President Snow is not very happy with them for showing them up. Their stylists (Cinna for Katniss and Portia for Peeta), prep teams (for Katniss: Venia, Octavia, and Flavius), escort (Effie Trinket) and mentor (Haymitch Abernathy) are all introduced. Katniss is dressed as an innocent young girl in a yellow dress that resembles candlelight to draw attention away from her rebellious actions. They show highlights of the whole Hunger Games and it is especially hard for Katniss to re-live. When President Snow gives the crown to Katniss, he gives her a venomous look and she knows that he will get revenge on her.
To wrap up the Victory Tour, there is an interview with Caesar. During, he asks how the victor is doing. During the interview in Catching Fire, Peeta proposes to Katniss. This was Katniss idea and was the signal for a planned uprising in District 8.
