I love trivia and TV game shows like Jeopardy and Cash Cab - my current favorite. It's fun to play along at home and make fun of the contestants who don't know the "easy" stuff. But playing for real, when there's prizes at stake and the pressure is on, is another story.
Quizmaster MIDGE MATHIESON puts alot of time and effort into the questions and answers for TUESDAY NIGHT TRIVIA @ CAFE 322 every week. Four different categories that usually include an audio and/or video section, cover a wide variety of subjects for contestants of all ages. And despite his thorough research, sometimes certain participants (who will remain nameless) challenge him and he has to remind them of Rule Number One: the host's decision is final - no arguing! Well I haven't been kicked out yet, and hopefully this photo will make up for any grief I may have caused him! Love ya Midge!
