Subject: I might be on Jeopardy!

Written By: EthanM on 02/25/06 at 10:46 pm

I can't disclose any details because of confidentiality and fairness and such, but i took the test for Jeopardy today in NYC and passed, so I'm in the contestant pool and if I get called I'm going to California. If I win enough times, I'll certainly give a shout-out to the Penguins.

Good luck!!  Just a possible bit of advice... act excited and hyper... I went to a wheel of fortune tryout and I got called back to go to San Francisco for a test... and we were all trying to concentrate on the game... then AFTER it was over, they told us that they were more concerned with enthusiasm than whether we actually got the answers quickly... :-\\

Can you mention the Darkster?  ;)

Thanks, but wheel of fortune and Jepardy are quite different. It's good to be cheerful and energetic on Jeopardy, but I've seen the show plenty of times and nobody is ever jumping out of their seat to answer a question. The pre-test, full test, mock game and mini-interview were all in the same day for me, so I am quite exhausted at the moment.

If I win 100 games, I will mention the darkster, if that is still your name by then. Unless you do something in the interim that convinces me  that you should be mentioned earlier. I can't tell you what, since I don't know.

Good luck Ethan ,I hope you get the call up  ;D

Subject: Re: I might be on Jeopardy!

Written By: EthanM on 02/26/06 at 7:36 pm

Thanks, everyone. I hope so too (that I get on) If I get on, amiright would probably get mentioned in my mini-interview on my first (hopefully of many) episode. I don't want to talk too much during the game and use up clock time that is needed for clues, but I'll see what I can do if I get the chance.

Some of you, the ones that are younger than me or just a little older, should still get a chance if you want it. As long as the show goes on after Alex, anyway.

Wow! That's exciting news! I hope ya make it...and if you do, let us know when the episode is gonna air so we can watch.

I've never known anyone who has appeared on Jeopardy, but a friend of mine knew someone who was on there during the Ken Jennings era.
