Shark Tank is a show where audiences can witness entrepreneurial dreams come true. For over 11 seasons, a panel of investors has given their own money to entrepreneurs and businesses in hopes of making a sizable return on their investment. All while millions of viewers watch the drama unfold on their television.
While the show is hugely recognizable now, in 2009, the concept was foreign to many American viewers. Many don’t know that the cast of Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Kevin O’Leary, Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec, and Lori Greiner were not the original cast of the show.
