Well, let's see: They have local news programs listed on there. They've even got the Slimecon [YCDTOTV] reunion videos listed on there.

WHERE'S QUIZBUSTERS?!?!??!

With interest piqued, I entered names of a few other notable Jeopardians to see which ones were listed.

Ken Jennings: of course. (He's Ken Jennings II - the other is a make-up artist who worked on My Left Foot)
Frank Spangenberg: nope.
Chuck Forrest: uh-uh.
Burns Cameron: who?
Bob Verini: naw...couldn't be.

Don't know what it means, but I'm sure it means something.

Put me on there.
I've played "Radio Announcer" on radio stations (various) from 1981-present.

No wonder Ken beat you, you were only "playing" contestant! Well, we need more credits in there. $ale of the Century and the Channel 6 Morning News should be added as well.

Randy Amasia is listed, but as an intern on Card Sharks 78.

Brian

100 plus 100 equals 600?

This is my favorite entry.

And Randy did indeed work on Card Sharks. Where's the inaccuracy?

One time our station covered a drive-by shooting in South L.A. and we got a shot of a guy standing around in the crowd that had gathered.

How come he isn't in IMDB as playing "Innocent Bystander"

IIRC our old buddy/supposed Extreme Gong writer Beau Bielefeldt, er, Bellfoot, wrote the IMDB entry on Randy.

For those of you interested:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1313185/

I've actually been in several independent films, they've just been a little TOO independent, I guess. I mean, they've played at festivals and stuff, but I guess however these things are done, nobody's bothered to put them into the IMDB.

Randy Amasia was listed as a Whew! contestant, but it's been taken off the site.

When looking up Randy West, be sure you've chosen the right one. Or else... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0922301/
