You should say:

What it is about
And explain how you feel about the program
I’m going to talk about a quiz show called “Who wants to be millionaire?”. As it famous all over the globe, I’m sure you’ve heard of it before. It can be viewed by everyone, as it is family friendly. Well, let me tell you how it works.
At the start of the show, the contestants gather and prepare to answer a multiple choice question to decide who gets to be in the “hot seat”. Naturally, it’s the person who answers accurately within the shortest time frame.
When a contestant is selected, he or she will proceed to sit in a chair in the center and have the opportunity to answer a total of 15 questions that become progressively more difficult. For every answer that you answer correctly, you are awarded a determined amount of money. Apparently, if you’re unsure of one particular question, you can always stop the game and go home with the money that you have allotted at that time. However, if you are willing to take your chances, you can follow your instinct and keep going. Also, there are always three “aids” you can use, for example you can call your friends for help, or choose to have half of the options eliminated.
All in all, I enjoy this game because it’s very suspenseful: it always keeps me on the edge of my seat! Furthermore, I gain knowledge from watching this show. Since I have 2 teenage children, I like that it is something that we can all watch together!
