Today's famous name contestant is...

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Wed May 06, 2009 9:48 am

Jesse James.

Spc. James was looking for a home and garden show to remodel a kitchen for his wife, Tricia, when he typed "game show auditions" into an Internet search engine. He discovered Millionaire was looking for contestants for a Famous Names theme week.
I guess I don't understand his search technique! :P
Spc. James said there was no guarantee he would be chosen to compete and the show did not pay for travel. He said there was a Martha Stewart who was visibly shaken when she was not chosen and that Seth Green, a nonprofit consultant from New Haven, Conn., asked him who Jesse James was.

"I asked him who Seth Green was," he said.
Way to go, Jesse! :twisted:

Assuming it's the same Martha Stewart (and I am) she was in the green room with me and RB and she was a very nice and fun lady so I guess she got left out of FN Week but got to play on the regular version...

Spoiler
I was nervous for this contestant, that he would run out of time before saying final answer. He would talk a bit before giving his answer and saying final. One time he literally had just one second left.
