So…yeah. Dirty secret: I’m a game show host for anime conventions. The game is “Anime Trivia Trap,” based off a Mark Goodson cult classic from 1984 (the year of my birth! And now you know my age). I’m preparing a little ditty about this geeky gig I’ve been gigging since 2009—a dream come true yet far from complete. Full story coming soon, and yes, this program will be broadcast in color. Stay wired, fans and fellow nerds.

R.I.P. Richard Dawson (11/20/32 – 6/2/12)

This is a short video of one of my heroes that I “grew up” with through classic episodes of “Family Feud.” No one could match Dawson’s impeccable wit, charm, and humor, not to mention the gigantic heart he had for people. Watch this short clip from the final “Feud” episode aired in 1985 to see what I mean. Richard’s message of hope and love was timely then and even more imperative now. Survey says: Rest in peace, and may your legacy live forever, Mr. Dawson.
