Blatant advertising DURING the show

Tonight was the second night of Stephen at Butterball headquarters answering the questions about turkey hotline.

Stephen: Don't you think one night of advertising for this company in the middle of your show was enough?

The Butterball hotline is just part of Thanksgiving!

Those segments would have been better though if they had Martin Sheen or at least someone call and say they were Joe Bethersonton as the topper. But, I guess they wouldn't do that on CBS.

So? It's news to you that advertising is part of television?

Before pre-produced ads existed, TV personalities used to do them live.

How can you advertise a product when nobody is watching/caring?

Shall we play a game?
