NEW FALL GAME SHOW DEBUT ---- "Which CEO Wants to Be A Billionaire??" Just got word of this new Fall Show. Here's the Press Release: "Who Wants to be a Billionaire" is sure to be a HUGE hit! It's a scintillating game of scandal and deception in the high stakes Corporate World. Twenty CEO's vie each week for the ultimate prize, $1,000,000,000! The winner will be the one who does the following most effectively. - Ability to lie under pressure with conviction - Adept at bribing Boards of Directors to look the other way - Screwing shareholders out of the most money for the longest period of time. - Building the biggest home, golf course, or buying the most expensive jet with the money they've stolen. How can we afford such a big prize each week? Ratings, baby, ratings! Americans actually tune in bigtime and idolize the rich and powerful. TV Evangelists, Watergate thieves, and scummy CEO's - America forgets so quickly. When Fall rolls around, this promises to be the smash hit of the new season! Where there's big stakes, America tunes in!" Note - we are considering hosting the show inside prison walls in the unlikely event any CEO's are arrested and put away. We may even combine the show with Oz on HBO. Negotiations with HBO are underway. Details to follow. For a PR pack or application to appear on "Which CEO Wants to be a Billionaire", send resume and credentials to: K. Lay or B. Ebbers C/O this station. PS -- We're planning to go public! Send in for a prospectus. Only $1,000 plus $399 shipping and handling. Free ginsu knives and the N.Y. Times best-seller, "How to be a CEO Without Really Trying" for the first 100 respondees.
