The Budweiser Chach Seat

Has there ever been a lamer interview gimmick than the Budweiser Hot Seat on Sportscenter? I remember when they first started doing it, they actually asked difficult questions, and tried to "grill" the person on the hot seat, but they quickly learned that they normally just refused to answer the questions and got kind of pissed. So now the whole thing has basically been reduced to a normal interview, with really intense music in the background. And flames around the person being interviewed. It's what it would look like if Satan decided he wanted to work for ESPN. The effect is really anti-climactic. Like something exciting might happen... just wait for it... wait for it... and then it never happens. I'd like to see this applied to other things, like the State of the Union address. How great would it be to see George W sitting behind the Oval Office desk, with computer generated flames on either side of him, with really dramatic drum music in the background? "My fellow Americans, this is the BestBuy.com Hot State of the Union Address..." Tell me you wouldn't watch that.
