I
always wanted to be on Jeopardy. But always had that reoccurring
nightmare where I would be winning by $100, only to have the Final
Jeopardy Category be Opera. There had to be another way to
get on Jeopardy ...
So I saw this
contest on the show where they were searching for a new member of
their "Clue Crew" which goes around the world, and reads clues. Not
exactly a rocket-scientist job, but it sure would be cool to see
Greece for free! The job would
kind of be like my interactive US Tour, only I would get to hang
out with Alex Trebek. And everyone knows that he's really the life
of every party.
Their
requirements were simple ... make a demo tape by reading three
clues they provided, including a Frisbee. Anyhow, I sent in a
demo tape, and it made it to the
Regional Finals. At the audition, I thought I killed ... but it
turned out the Jeopardy producers were looking for someone a bit
... well ... more beautiful. In any event, they gave me a cool hat
for my troubles, and I went back to teaching the next day.
It's too bad -- I was really looking to hang out with some 82 year-old Jeopardy groupies.
