Standing in line...
 
...to try out for "who wants to be a millionaire."
This should be interesting. I don't know how long this process will take, but I'll try to update as interesting things happen (if anything interesting happens).

Scorp 06-29-2009 06:29 AM

I guess I don't want to be a millionaire that bad.......good luck.

I didn't even know that show was still on.

Hope you brought your wolf shirt

good luck

Sully 06-29-2009 06:40 AM

Channel 9 was just intrviewing someone right in front of me. I did my best to Give the stiff creepy look into the camera the whole time.

I just recieved my ****official who wants to be a millionaire pencil**** for the written test.

LMAO

so how many people are down there in line?

Sully 06-29-2009 06:49 AM

I'm guessing 500. I don't know how many already went in for the first testing session.

I wonder if, when I reach a question I don't know, I should write in big letters, "Deal!" or "No Whammies!"

Sully 06-29-2009 06:54 AM

Going in for the test... Stay tuned. There's a couple in lone "practicing" by reading trivial pursuit cards to each other.

Slainte 06-29-2009 07:00 AM

Years ago I tried out for Jeopardy!. About 75 of us in a large room took a written test of trivia questions. I've always prided myself in being fairly good in Trivia-type games and somewhat knowledgable in useless and arcane facts. I figured what-the-hell, give it a shot.

That written test was so freakin' hard it permanently disabused me of that kind of thinking. I'm not sure I got even three questions right. All were MUCH more difficult than the q's you see on the TV box and don't ask me for a sample--to this day I can't remember even one of them. I suppose it's part of the weeding out process that ensures they get the best of the best for the show, but man oh man, what an ego deflation! PS Only one person out of 75 qualified to continue on the television pre-screen process.

Saulbadguy 06-29-2009 07:00 AM

I would probably get as many as you can right but if you start getting all of them right, get some wrong on purpose.

Also, between each question tell a long and uninteresting story about yourself and why you may or may not know the answer.

Sully 06-29-2009 07:49 AM

Test is over and they are being graded. To keep us busy, they are telling folks to stand up and say which celebrity they look like for a t-shirt.
I'm wondering if I should say peter griffin. But I bet the shirt won't fit.

They just called my number, so I guess I'm on to a producer interview later.

I wonder what formula they use. You can't be TOO smart, or they will be worried you'd actually do well. You can't be too dumb either because that makes for bad TV.

Oh! I can help, too! My areas of particular expertise are the atomic structure of macaroons, various flavors of edible heavy metals, and panties. You might have to move fast, though, because as I eat more heavy metals I tend to forget about the panties and macaroons.

For what it's worth, I think you're right, Ms. Jilly. Especially when you consider that, when it's all said and done, every final answer will be, "This".

My 4th/7th & 8th grade teacher was on Jeopardy and he kicked some ass and blew it all in Final Jeopardy. Not sure what the question/answer was but the answer/question was supposed to be Jolly Rancher and he said something dumb.

I once worked with a guy (he was a temp) that was a 5 day Jeopardy champion and he had great things to say about the producers and Trebek.

Don't freak out and panic! Relax and you'll be fine.

Opps. Wrong show.

He's notorious for eating too. I wonder if the two are connected.

Sully 06-29-2009 01:50 PM

Just got back. Did the interview, and from there they had certain people stay to do a short thing on camera. I think it went well. Guess I'll hear within the next couple of weeks whether or not i'm in the contestant pool.

KCChiefsMan 06-29-2009 01:53 PM

I think they mostly want morons on that show, so it may be better to have a sparkly personality and miss a few questions on purpose, it may help your odds. Seriously, did anyone catch the one the other day? The question was basically "Ultra Violet rays make vitamin D in your skin, and what is this from?"

A Sunshine
B Something else
C something else
D Something else

the bitch had to ask the audience

Just another benefit of CP. No need to talk, check the latest CP news to see what is going on with your significant other. Sometimes, I wish my wife would sign up.....other times, I don't.
