Although Prismatology, along with his book Emetics, was first mentioned in Culture Shock, Hugh Bliss did not appear in person until Situation: Comedy as a celebrity guest host for WARP's game show "Who's Never Going to be a Millionaire". There he showed off some of his tricks, such as his mind reading and ability to change colors, which Sam and Max exploited in order to meet one of the requirements needed to get into Myra Stump's show. While Sam was skeptical, Max presented himself as Hugh's greatest fan, a fact which, suspiciously, did not disturb Hugh in the slightest.
