Pre-Weakest Link Comments, Part 3: The semi-amusing story.
Earlier this weekend, a staffer from the show called me, like they did all the other people in the contestant pool.
The Weakest Link Staff Member: So, we’re looking for an amusing story — something the host can use to make fun of you between rounds.
Ernie: Okay.
TWLSM: Where did you go for school?
Ernie: UC Davis. Computer Science Engineering major.
TWLSM: You travel anywhere interesting?
Ernie: Uhmm. China. Taiwan. Went on a business trip to France when I was working at a dotcom.
TWLSM: Hrm. Okay, these are kinda dry. It says here on your application that you go raving and clubbing a lot. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever seen?
Ernie: Uhmm. Actually, I don’t go raving too much anymore. Craziest thing I’ve seen? One time I was at the End Up and when I went to the bathroom I ran into three guys getting it on in the men’s stall. But it’s like, you know, the End Up, so that goes on every week, and…
TWLSM: …
Ernie: That’s not going to work for daytime television, is it?
TWLSM: No.
So I ended up telling them the story about Ernie-Aid. Hopefully that will appease them. (Actually, typing this weblog entry out I could tell them the time I almost got married in China. Dad probably wouldn’t take that very well, though. Oh, by the way — Hi dad. Uhmm.. I’m going to be on a game show. Tell Mom for me. Thanks.)
