* 2020: CBS did a series of surreal promos for the season finale of its suspense drama ''[[Series/Evil2019 Evil]]'', crossing over with some of its daytime shows: the first half of the commercial time is used for a normal, bumper-length commercial. But then it switched to a clip of someone bidding $665 in Contestant's Row, followed by George (a dark grey-skinned "sleep demon" from the series) responding by bidding [[NumberOfTheBeast $666]]. An airing of this ad ''during'' ''Price'' did lead to some confusion.
