[quote name=\'J.R.\' post=\'191375\' date=\'Jul 19 2008, 06:00 PM\']Wow, you really excelled the test with flying colors! Which means you probably have zero chance of getting on the show... :-P[/quote]
Even though the above was in jest, I'm glad to see I'm wrong!

That's fantastic news Chad! Go get 'em! :-)

And big congrats to Sodboy13 too! :-)

I'm so glad to see game show casting people who enjoy and care about the game and play it well, and not just pretty people looking to get their faces on TV.

But what about the pretty people who enjoy and care about the game who are looking...

Nah, I couldn't finish it. I caught myself.

Congrats to Chad and Sodboy for making the show!  Come home winners, and don't spend it all in one place :)

Looks like I'll be taping on Saturday - they're flying me out tomorrow night and back home Sunday afternoon.

Flying Sunday, coming home Tuesday. I love both Betty and Chenbot (*shudder*, obviously one over the other though), so not a bad day to tape.

I would be petrified to have any of Ferguson, Corolla, or Chenbot as a partner.

No. Fegurson would be great. He's written books, essays and screenplays, so I'm going to assume he knows words pretty well.

Corolla, Chen, or Chelsea Handler ? I'm thinking long and hard about bailing at 10 grand.

Chen comes off to me as intelligent and well-versed enough to play two good games.

My concern with Ferguson is this: The few times I've watched his show (Conan man here, when I'm up that late), he gives me this absent-minded vibe. Not what I want with money on the line. Also, I have concerns over the potential for Letterman Factor: trying to be funny and stay in "character" instead of hunkering down and doing his job.

I like the guy, so I'd love to be wrong on both counts. Certainly of the three people I mentioned, he's the one I'd play with first.
