, also made occasional appearances. Some clips were replayed during the closing credits, set to the show's theme song for most of Daly's run, although episodes with no clips during the credits had the title card on a different monitor and short credit roll. In the show's third season, in episodes with a full credit roll, the title card appeared on a much larger monitor before the clip montage, and the Paramount Television logo also appeared on the monitor after the theme song ended.
Various segments appeared in episodes, usually just as a way to thread featured videos of a similar nature. One feature that appeared often was "Quick Clips", which featured a number of quick video highlights of some amazing footage. Each episode of Daly's version had the "Real TV Quiz", which generally featured video footage of a celebrity before they became famous, challenging the viewer to guess who they were during the commercial break. Announcer Beau Weaver
announced the quiz at the start of the show's run before the quiz was taken over by Daly. During season 1, the quiz was before the second half of the show. The quiz moved to the end of the show at the start of season 2. In season 4 of the show, he was joined by Kristin Eykel, and Mitch Lewis became the announcer.
When Daly and Eykel quit the show, Ahmad Rashād
took over for them until the show's end. Rashād's version of Real TV had a new set, introduction, and announcer. The correspondents from Daly's run did not appear, nor did the themed segments or news show atmosphere. The show seemingly became targeted towards younger viewers, featuring more extreme sports footage, and less focus on human interest stories and celebrities. The show was canceled in 2001, and was replaced in many markets by the similar Maximum Exposure
, which ran original episodes until 2002 and continues to air in syndication (Maximum Exposure was produced under the RTV News banner).
