Best game show idea ever:

TRANSCRIBED WORD-FOR-WORD FOR MY SISTER:

Title: 1000K
Host: Specter Billy Mays
Premise: Contestants come up one by one to choose between two identical neon brown boxes (... I was told to write this word-for-word; don't blame the inanity on me). In one box is $1000K-- better known as $1,000,000. The other box is empty. Should contestants pick the box with the money in it, they win $1,000,000 tax-free. However, should they pick the empty box, they're required to sprint 1,000 kilometers, a task which they will probably not survive. If they jog, walk, or stop at any time during the 1,000-kilometer sprint, they will be electrocuted (which they will also probably not survive) via a handy unbreakable collar that was fastened around their neck before the show. Good luck, potential contestants!

You would definitely want to be on this show if it existed, don't lie.

Win a million dollars or die?  Specter!Billy Mays as the host?

This would be the most watched show ever to hit prime-time.

Exactly; everyone knows television viewers are sadistic.

Yeah... the more pain, danger, and death, the better.  It brings the ratings.
