You can guess, maxmcd gave some suggestions, but you can't really estimate. My web site has been shown on two national TV shows and I can tell you from experience that so many variables come into play that you can't even estimate the order of magnitude of traffic. With the cost of web servers as they are now, just prepare for the biggest amount of traffic you can imagine, overkill is better than under.
