Ex-HBOer To Appear On ‘Jeopardy!’

Lynn Swanbom, former Girl Friday for the SR editorial page and a former commenter here at Huckleberries Online, will be on “Jeopardy!” Friday night. Lynn told your Huckleberry Hound today: ” I tested online in January 2008 to be a contestant; I was invited to an audition in Portland in March 2008, after which they told me they would either call or not in the next 18 months. After hearing nothing for 16 months, they called in July and invited me to compete on the show, taping Aug. 11. They tape five shows a day. My roommate from here, my parents from Fresno, and several other friends were able to come to watch the taping.” Lynn goes on to say she can’t tell anyone how things turned out. But she offered a link to a story about one of her competitors here . And she provided a page where you can watch her “Hometown Howdy” promo for the show online here (at end of second row) .

Question: Have you ever appeared on a television game show?
