I got to meet Ken Jennings at this year’s Toy Fair. Apparently, the $2.5 million that he won on Jeopardy wasn’t enough so he’s now endorsing his own trivia game (as well as doing those wireless phone commercials.) They had a “mock’ trivia contest where they provide you with a question to ask Ken and, if he gets it right, you lose. Of course, those who know me, know how much I hate to lose (which I did) Anyway, it wasn’t pretty. Use your imagination.
Also from Toy Fair, my new favorite bumper sticker.
Ok – whose bright idea was this? Is nothing sacred?
Anyway, that’s it from this year’s Toy Fair. It’s good to be back in Philly.
In other news, Ian Brown’s live on Conan tonight. Make sure to catch “King Monkey” doing his thing.
Speaking of Ian Brown, have you seen Shaun of the Dead yet? Great british zombie spoof – much better than “Return of the Living Dead.” There’s a nice Stone Roses joke in there. British humor – always so subtle.
Lots of Situation shows in the works -stay tuned for more info. In the meantime, check out this interview with Elephant Stone Records boss, Ben Vendetta.
