Presumbably in an “interview” people are getting an “inner view” of what you’re like. With /nt/ > [n] or [4~] “interview” and “inner view” do sound the same or very similar for many (specifically North American English) speakers. I searched for “innerview/-ed/-ing.” Some results:
this was a dope innerview... maybe the best i read… really get a feel for the type of person Advance is…
I was innerviewed by Alphademon the other day. Gosh, he asked so many serious questions about success, life, loneliness, food, programming, etc.
i innerviewed the guy and we talked endlessly about ‘60s stuff, like Quicksilver and Millennium and folk/rock.
we never got around to innerviewing you yesterday
Greetings, I will be innerviewing Roger Steffen this sunday on the Iration Vibration show 1-4PM(EST). Roger will be calling around 1:15pm.

This nice discovery is one of a series in which ‘inner-’ substitutes for ‘inter-’. For example, ‘innercourse’ and ‘innervention’ are both pretty common (although ‘innervention’ is as often a substitute for ‘innervation’ as for ‘intervention.’)
