A birthday shout-out to the of the namesake of my new book, who has now done over 5000 episodes of a certain quiz show and still seems to enjoy it as much as ever.

The best present you could get the guy, I think, just might be five thousand more.

Said without the slightest irony: entirely possible.

Perhaps I will see him again, when they hold the Heads-In-Jars Tournament of 2052.
