I Want To Be A Millionaire
As a long time master of the Trivial Pursuit board game, it seemed a natural to take a stab at the often ridiculously easy questions on Regis Philbin's show. Having failed to make it past the first level of qualifying on the telephone, I actually made a trip to St. Louis to take part in the show's new audition process. 135 folks who were lucky enough to qualify for a spot via a phone call were in a room taking a 30 question test. The 35 with the highest scores (including me) were then interviewed in groups of five while being video-taped.
We are supposed to hear back in December if we are chosen. However, this story in the St.Louis paper about what the show's producers are looking for doesn't make me very optimistic about being selected. I happen to be an unwanted white male accountant.
I will keep you posted on any new developments.
