For the next week, until the show runs on Tuesday, Feb. 12 at 10pm and 1am. I'll be talking about the show right here on my blog.

And for those of you who want to know how "Just Do It" was created, here's Wieden + Kennedy founder Dan Wieden.
Finally, check out this photo gallery of the workers we took at a factory in Vietnam. It shows you how a Nike shoe is made.
