Each morning, fans can log on to CBS’s Twitter or Facebook accounts, or CBS.com for a special message revealing which stars from that night’s CBS Television Network lineup will be taking over their show’s social media accounts. Throughout the day, fans will be able to view pictures, videos, exclusive show content and status updates posted by the talent, and will also be able to interact by asking questions and commenting on postings.
