Melin Wins $25,000

I read today where Lawrence, KS film critic Eric Melin of Lawrence won $25,000 on the Meredith daytime version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire this week. That's a nice chunk of trivia there. Good job, Eric. The writers gave him a scrunchy in the loins as he went for 100 grand when they posted an obscure Merchant-Ivory question. No Remains of the Day or Mr. and Mrs. Bridge, oh hell no. Meanwhile in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino shot his TV screen out with a .357 magnum.

Thanks, Fowler! Congrats to you-- $125,000 is reeeal nice. I posted a little blog about my experience here (http://www.scene-stealers.com/blogs/who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-i-do/), but was unsure of how much I could talk about, so it doesn't get too specific. Have you written anything online about your experiences?

Eric,

Thanks for stopping by. I wrote comments about the experience that coincided with a repeat broadcast on GSN in 2004. If you're interested see these links: http://fowlerjones.blogspot.com/2004/05/my-wwtbam-experience.html
