The idea is to "go above and beyond" just posting episodes to CBS' website and promoting them on social media.
"We need to evolve and it’s so important we are evolving at the same pace that our viewers are," McDaniel said.

"Actor Pierson Fodé of The Bold and the Beautifulspoofs sexy fast food burger commercials."
"Inspired by the YouTube viral videos for “Draw My Life,”The Talkhost tells her entertaining life story while humorous drawings illustrate her narrative."
"Inspired by popular video challenges featured on YouTube, The Young and the Restlessactors whisper fun phrases to one another while wearing noise cancelling headphones."
"The Talkhost tries to cut in line at The Price is Right, but finds out what happens when Underwood runs into the show’s announcer, George Gray."
"Announcer Jonathan Mangum of Let’s Make a Dealpitches game ideas to Zonk favorite characters, The Donkey, Gorilla and Turtle, that could put them out of work."
