I Wasn’t Even Supposed to Be Here Today!
In a desperate attempt to boost ratings in every daypart, CBS produces the most heavily promoted program in television history. The catch is the network airs the program at random times on random days. One week it might be on Tuesday evening at 9:00, the next it might be on Saturday morning at 10:30. A third week the network might even break into a regularly schedule program to catch viewers unaware. The payoff for watching is that each week the program will show a secret word one time during the broadcast. The viewer who manages to identify the most secret words over the 52-week run of the show will win one million dollars.
