Show introduction
At the beginning of the show, Steve "starts the show" by having a passer-by on Michigan Avenue read an introduction. The introduction typically references a current event and incorporates a fictitious piece of trivia about Steve (referred to as "this man") at the end. The introduction is concluded with the phrase, "Here's Steve Cochran!". The show's theme music follows the introduction.
A typical introduction might be:
- "Audrey Tautou was recently announced to be Tom Hanks' co-star in the upcoming movie The Da Vinci Code. This man was once selected to be Tom's co-star in Cast Away but was replaced by a volleyball at the last minute. Here's Steve Cochran!"
Kid of the Week
Once a week, Steve honors a "Kid of the Week" by speaking with a kid who has "done something that is super, spectacular, and fantastic".[1]
