SECRET MILLIONAIRE Premieres Tonight

This past May at the Fox Upfronts there was one show that had everyone in the audience reaching for some tissues – Secret Millionaire. The new reality show, which premieres tonight at 8pm on Fox, will definitely pull on your heartstrings. Put your cynicism aside and see what comes of it.

So what’s it all about? Six millionaires will leave their opulent lifestyles and go undercover to experience life in some of the most impoverished areas of the country including a community devastated by Hurricane Katrina, an old coal-mining town in Schuylkill County, PA, and areas outside of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, where people in need live just minutes from those in upscale, gated communities.

Challenged with living on minimum wage, the millionaires will immerse themselves in situations beyond their comprehension. They will work side-by-side with community members and befriend those in need. During their stay, they decide who of their new-found friends, neighbors or co-workers should ultimately receive their extraordinary gifts of a lifetime – at least $100,000 of their own money.
