WWTBAM Bored

I believe we have a "contestants on other shows" contestant on today's first-run episode, and this is stretching way back(though she's been seen in reruns on GSN in the last couple of years). Sherry Lucas was billed as a financial consultant on today's Millionaire. She was also in the financial game and living in NYC when she won over $60K on Blockbusters in the early 80s. I suspect it is the same person.

Spoiler

Sherry had trouble with a pop culture/math question about the show "24", when she could have used the audience lifeline who likely would have gotten it for her. The question asked for how many episodes would have to be shown to show one whole week of events in the life of the characters in real time, or something to that effect. She said 24 when the correct answer is 24 times 7 or 168, causing her to go back down to $1000.

I am the day's transcriber and just saw the show. I'll post the transcript in an hour or so.

Here is how the contestant looked:

Welcome to the Bored*, Zachoran. If you're a Bob we already know under a different handle, then welcome back.



*Bored is an intentional misspelling, one of several you may notice from time to time.

Okay, I misunderstood that part. The original "welcome" stands.

Zach Horan was in the ROF® back in August 1999. I can't remember offhand if he was on Doug Van Gundy's second show or wintergreen's second show.

8/25/99, episode 10, in which Michael Schutterley won $500K, and breaking Thom Mckee's 19 year old record for winnings by an individual contestant in the process.

Thanks for the pointer! It was wintergreen's (Mike Shutterly) second show.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see yesterday's show because it was pre-empted by the president's news conference. I'm sure glad we have the transcript team doing their work so that on occasions such as this I get to "see" the show.

Welcome, Zach!

You're a senior member on the J! board, aren't you? What brought you to this one after all these years since you were on the show?
