Watch Me If You Can!

rockin' the goggles It's here! My "Distraction" episode! They played the promo last night, and then a clip appeared on the site today. It's a little embarrassing to see myself like this, but of course, it's also totally fun and exciting.

My episode will air on Tuesday, February 1, at 10:30pm on Comedy Central. And here's a little preview.

Looking back, I do seem awfully serious on the show, but it was motivated by the fear that I would get kicked out at any round. And now that the show has revealed itself to be a bit low-brow (did anybody catch last night's dialogue about braiding pubic hair?), I was driven by the fear of humiliation if I didn't squeak past. The Chinese "saving face" thing, always kicking in... Well, I may have abandoned that consideration very early on. (As it is, though, my parents will be presented with a redacted version of the broadcast.)

Alright, enough self-promotion.

Hey, girl! I missed your birthday and I am truly sorry! I have been out there failing Bar exams and winning cars on game shows... self-deprecating to the end. So, I'm trying to find your e-mail address and I can't get it... will you e-mail me first then (click the link on my profile)? Of course, I've got your celly as well. Just a matter of time...

Hi, Ben! That is one fine compliment -- totally makes my day! When did you see the episode? I know they still rerun it at the crack of dawn, but up to this point would be surprising... and I wonder what terms you used to find this site? They didn't give much info on the show, like my last name. =) Anyway, in subsequent posts I do talk about the paint-splattered car. I did get the car like that. I thought before the show ended, "This is all a gag. My real car is in the back." But no. They just drove the thing out back and gave me 2 rags. Eventually, my dad helped me get it off with a sharp blade and a lot of solvent, and I sold it back to Mazda. Mystery (or lack of) revealed! All pretty normal in game show land. Thanks for reading!
