CBS to Air Special Episode of "Inturn" Online Reality Show November 24th  10/24/06

FROM ONLINE TO ON AIR…

A SPECIAL EPISODE OF "INTURN," THE ONLINE REALITY SHOW, TO BE BROADCAST FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

Episode to Feature Highlights From the 24-Episode Series

This past summer, eight struggling actors vied for the coveted 13-week role on AS THE WORLD TURNS as the Internet audience watched the drama and competition unfold on the web-exclusive reality series INTURN (http://www.cbs.com/inntertube). Now, for the first time, an online series will be seen on the Network when a one-hour compilation episode of INTURN is broadcast Friday, Nov. 24 (12:30-1:30 ET/3:00-4:00 PT) on the CBS Television Network. The special episode of INTURN will feature highlights that include the most dramatic, funny and emotional moments from the 24-episodes seen on CBS.com's innertube.

INTURN followed eight participants as they moved into a loft in Brooklyn, N.Y. and underwent a series of tryouts, such as screen tests, cold readings and awkward prop challenges that ultimately led to five contestants being voted out by a group of judges. The three remaining contestants were written into the show as characters on AS THE WORLD TURNS. After each InTurn's appearance on ATWT, viewers across America voted online for their favorite finalist and chose the winner of the coveted 13-week role. The winner was Alex Charak, 18, of Roslyn Heights, N.Y. He began appearing on AS THE WORLD TURNS in late September as "Elwood Hoffman," the college roommate of "Casey Hughes" (played by Zach Roerig).
