  • Overkill on the TV

    I know everyone hates a one-upper (sorry friar), but I've been sitting on this information for months and the time is nigh. Tuesday, March 18th on your local ABC affiliate you'll be able to see my goofy face on Jeopardy. I've only met a few of you and probably only a few more remember what I look like from pictures I've posted here, but to make it easy, my name's Nick Durazo. No fair making fun of my voice, I was sick that day; anything else is fair game I suppose.

    Awesome. I watch every day. May you have the success of Arthur Chu without the sociopathic aura.

    FYI in some markets Jeopardy is not on ABC. For example, in San Diego, it's on NBC.

    Good luck!

          One-uppers are ok.... Upper Deckers are no bueno!
          It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

              There's a 50 question on-line test every January, then if you pass that you come in for an in-person 50 question test as well as a mock show. I'd taken the test a handful of times before getting the call so either I finally got enough questions right or there are so many people that pass that they have to do a random drawing or something.

                  I was going to say it was all luck.

                    I've had 2 friends on the show and both won ~$40K so hopefully you can make it 3/3.

                      I believe this is the case. You have to pass, but then you also have to be selected from a random drawing because there are more people that pass than there are spots available at the audition sites. If you don't get called for an audition, then either you didn't pass or you did pass but didn't get picked in the lottery; they don't tell you which.

                          I am 35 but still trying to get on Teen Jeopardy. I would do much better on there. ::fingers crossed::
                          Find that level above your head and help you reach it.

                              I hope you did well. Maybe I'll see it on a rerun eventually. Weird how more people I have contact with are appearing on game shows. One guy on a Stratomatic message board just appeared on Wheel and a former teacher I used to work with will be on Jeopardy in June. They have already taped his episodes.

                              Literally means "pulling your pants down to fart" which is a Chinese idiom for "wasted effort." Makes sense to me!
