October 26, 2001 I appeared in the Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. I crashed and burned, however, ending with $0 after Final Jeopardy. The episode will be replayed sometime in July, ---

Maybe you should change your name to ‘Unfortunately Not 6 Time Champ’ 😉 Congrats on Jeopardy. I’m sure most of us couldn’t have gotten to the tournament of champions. ---

Three years ago, when I was 12. We were at a pick-a-seat day for the Cardinals and I got a helmet of mine signed by Jake Plummer. They showed the helmet being signed on Fox news (maybe on other stations, but I didn’t see). Later I mentioned the incident in an essay I wrote for the Cardinals and won a jersey autographed by the Snake from it. 🙂 More recently was the time when myself and my VICA-Technology Club were at a technology convention, on a field trip. Myself and three friends were wandering around the convention area when we literally bumped into this local celebrity, a reporter for Channel 3 News, Brad Perry. We talked to him for a bit about it but didn’t notice any cameras. It would have been right around the time that Channel 3’s “Good Morning Arizona” was airing that day, so we might have been on TV. I don’t know for sure, though. ---

May 1970, just after the Kent State shootings. I was a junior in college. A station here in Chicago came to our student union and briefly taped a small group of us discussing it. I didn’t see the broadcast, but the parents of a friend did, and they saw me deliver my comments. Before that, as a HS senior I was our team for an academic quiz series on local tv. We came in second. ---

Last night. I’m a newspaper photographer, and got a better seat at the event than the TV news cameraman, so the back of my head was on the 10:00 news. ---

About 2-3 hours ago. [Juvenile mode ON] **I win! I win!** {Juvenile mode OFF] Ahem… over here in the UK, Channel 4 tonight aired a 2 hour special called ‘The 50 Greatest Magic Tricks’ and I was briefly in it a few times. It finished at 11pm and it’s now 1.48 am. ---
