ABC used Who Wants to be a Millionaire in so many prime time slots that when the show's popularity faded by the fall of 2001, it was left with a dearth of original programs on June 27, 2002. ABC's overall Nielsen Ratings suffered as a result of the show's decline in popularity. Michael Eisner, then CEO of The Walt Disney Company (ABC's parent), was formerly a page at Jeopardy! and The Price Is Right and thought that the show would be successful like many daytime television shows do. But he realized too late that a hot show like Millionaire would tire more quickly in prime time than in daytime. [1]
