"Right now" being Sunday evening, about 5:30 Los Angeles time.

Just got a call from a friend watching TV. GSN, the former Game Show Network, is airing a special called "The Insider’s Guide to Winning Game Show Millions." Which is something I’ve never done. But I chatted with some producers for about 20 minutes last summer. After a few bits aired in December, I figured that was it. Guess not.

Flipped it on… and hey, I’m getting my butt kicked again on national TV. Excellent. They just replayed my last final flame-out on Jeopardy!. Again. Man, that was not my best moment.

Please excuse me now while I shave my head and go into rehab.

PS — according to GSN’s schedule, the show will be repeated tonight, Sunday, at 11 pm EST, and Tuesday at 9 pm EST. So there, if you’re curious.

PS — A correction: the graphic under my name is incorrect. They asked for my total quiz winnings, and now they’re using that as my Jeopardy! total. I doubt anyone cares, but my Jeopardy! haul is only about a third of the total. Maybe using the bigger number made it look like I had any business on a special with that title.

PPS — another correction: I said something like "one third of the clues I answered came from Chuck Forrest’s book." As I wrote in Trebekistan, about a third of all the clues I answered correctly came from studying, and the main thing I studied early on was Chuck’s book. But that’s not the same thing. I compressed the two in the interview, which was verbally sloppy.
