POTUS

(Redirected from Campaign!)

POTUS, or President of the United States, is a special recurring role shared amongst a number of television programs.

The selection of The President is done via a reality show called Campaign! which airs every four years. This season-long program features a number of hopeful Presidential candiates who are eliminated in a series of call-in ballots. The final episode of Campaign! airs during the first week of Sweeps, where the winner of the POTUS role is announced. (An exception occured in the year 2000, when an unexpected surge in popularity convinced the networks to continue airing Campaign! for an extra month.) Each POTUS has the role for four years--unless the opportunity to star in an Oliver Stone movie comes along. If the POTUS proves to be exceptionally popular with the viewers, he may enter the contest for a second time; however, each actor can only win Campaign! twice.

Contrary to what many in the country believe, President George W. Bush is not the current POTUS; he is a stock villain character used by television writers.

The current POTUS is President Laura Roslin, who won Campaign! in 2006 when she defeated a chorus of Cylons with her rendition of the old spiritual "Let My People Go."

The current host of Campaign! is Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest also hosted the Campaign! Ultimate Tournament of Champions special.
