Meredith says that on yesterday's show, John insulted Shaquille O'Neal, his wife and the entire audience, yet he's one of the most likable contestants they've ever had on the show.

I didn't see yesterday's show, and I didn't see a transcript but...
This reminds me of the fact that, on our practice day on the stage, Rick Sirop had one of the female contestants stand by the podium and said, "You be Meredith.." At which point this contestant said, "Boy, Meredith, you sure have gained a lot of weight!" to the fellow contestant (who wasn't the least bit heavy). It was as though he was trying TOO hard to be funny.

I'd dispute that statement - I thought his behavior was annoying. But it's easy to see why TPTB cast him.

When asked what he will do with the money, Hardison said his answer is the one nobody wants to hear — he will pay the bills.

“I wouldn’t mind taking a scuba diving trip,” he added.

Hardison, who received an associate’s degree from Montgomery College, spent a majority of the 1990s impersonating former President William Jefferson Clinton at corporate and political events. The routine started after Hardison dressed as Clinton for a party and heard from a number of people his close resemblance to the former leader.

He soon found himself working as needed for a company specializing in celebrity impersonators and studying tapes of an Ozarks accent.

For nearly eight years, Hardison earned $300 to $500 per hour telling jokes and posing for photographs. His final job took place at Union Station in Washington, D.C., in 2000, alongside a President George W. Bush impersonator.

“All the attention was on George W. Bush and I was like, ‘This isn’t fun anymore,’” Hardison said. “I don’t want to be the ex-president.”

And Maria Hardison will keep trying her luck to get on to “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” one of her favorite shows.

“When they have the next round of auditions, I’m going to go and drive to wherever they are and I’m going to get on this darn show if it kills me,” she said. “I’m the real game show nut in the family. I’m just getting hosed, here.”
