    When I was little I was on a game show for kids called Club 27. It was full of skits and stuff, and kids from the studio audience competed for prizes in little games.

    I got selected and played a ring toss game. I got like 5 rings on, and my opponent got one, but because his ring made it all the way to the base of the pedestal and none of mine did (sounds legit, but really it was bullshit… the target was a tombstone shaped piece of wood with a square base, and the rings were basically the same size as the base) so he won a sweet remote controlled car, and I got a sample of cat food. I didn’t even have a cat.

    I auditioned for Millionaire once and was selected, but they wanted me to pay my own way to New York and I’d only be refunded if I was picked. Was poor at the time (ironically) so didn’t go. I think it would have been fun, I’m not a genius by any means but I know a lot of useless trivia so think I may have made a few bucks. Nice part about that show is it’s you against yourself, Jeopardy also sounds like fun but I’d be competing against people smarter than me I expect.
