Yep. I was on in December 2000, in those halcyon days of The Old Phone Game®, a Ring of Fire, an ascending dollar tree and the three classic lifelines. [Mary Hopkin]"Those were the days, my friend.

I'd like to thank the person who transcribed my episode again. I have my run on Youtube but only after the 1000 dollar question and oddly enough I have since completely forgotten some of the questions I faced before 1000. 5 years later this is a great thing to look back on, it's really hard to believe it's been 5 years it feels like just yesterday I was having a Homer Simpson "D'OH!" moment as I answer the 16k question incorrectly.
Retrospectively I am still incredibly proud of myself and it is such a fond memory. One thing I still ask myself from time to time is "I wonder if Bill Nye would have known that one!" Lol!
You must have did your run with Regis if you were on 12 years ago, that's pretty awesome though. I wish had been able to do my run when the show's format was pure and uncorrupted by the whims of a bored production team

You got my respect for being able to deal with the "ring of fire" if that was still in effect I might never have gotten on the show in the first place. Although it seems there may be hope for a slight return to the old days, Regis said he might be interested in coming back once Meredith leaves.earendel wrote:Yep.
