The Will is an American reality television series on CBS that lasted only one episode, shown on Saturday, January 8, 2005.

The following Saturday, the network replaced it with a re-run of Cold Case, a crime drama.
The quick cancellation of The Will was lampooned on an episode of the ABC late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! with a montage of clips from the show, and the m
