elieves Michael's lack of power has left him exposed on the<br />

brother, Frankie recognizes that Michael not only has power,<br />

but is ruthless enough to use it. not even the US government<br />

Jeopardy!<br />

What is it like to be a contestant<br />

on Jeopardy! ?<br />

Neville Fogarty, Back-to-School Week contestant, 2000<br />

Short answer: A lot of fun!<br />

Long answer: okay, I can't stress this enough — it is really<br />

a lot of fun. I was on Jeopardy! in 2000, and I'm writing<br />

this in 2011 — I'm nearly twice as old now as I was then, so<br />

my memory may be a little fuzzy. Also, remember that I was a<br />

kid, so your Jeopardy! experience may vary. I'm just going to<br />

tackle what I recall about my trip to Southern California —<br />

no audition remarks.<br />

go west<br />

I was flown (coach) with my parents from Bush Intercontinental<br />

(Houston) to Los Angeles to stay at the magnificent<br />

Beverly Hilton Hotel. At the time, the hotel was owned by<br />

Jeopardy! creator Merv Griffin. There's a shot in the promo<br />

for the hotel at the end of each show (back then) with the<br />

hotel's swimming pool in it — I quickly discovered that everything<br />

looks bigger on TV. There was some star-studded gala<br />

taking place at the hotel in the evening. The most famous person<br />

I saw was some woman dressed up as Lucille Ball (in turn<br />

playing Lucy Ricardo) trying to get in and get autographs.<br />
