Below are some highlights of my hosting, producing and game show career!
I
worked as a trivia writer, a question-triggering production assistant
and an operations manager at PlayCafe.com, the first online game show
network. I wrote over 1,200 trivia questions for this position, along
with distributing prizes, updating live leaderboards online and
providing live support in the chat rooms. Later in that occupation, I hosted over 35 hours of live
internet games. Below are three rounds of live games I hosted one
evening.
As part of their GSN Live "Road Trip", the Game Show Network traveled to the homes of some of the bigger winners on the show and I was one of the lucky ones chosen! They did a tour of my home, my winnings and (the only one on the tour do so) we played a game where a home viewer can win an awesome prize. Live host Heidi Bohay commented that "[I] should come down here and be on GSN Live."
In the month of March
2009, GSN went on a mall tour, looking for the next best game show
host. The winner would receive a free trip to L.A. and a guest spot on
GSN Live. I auditioned as a host when they came to a mall in Detroit. I
made it to the semi-finals of this competition!
This is an "On Demand" version of PlayCafe which highlights how an acverage show would run in a nutshell. Some of
the questions I wrote and some of the rounds I helped design are
featured in this video
I
was part of Kearsley High School's television program, K-NEWS. I
produced, edited and hosted two very successful and popular pieces
based on the television program "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?".
I wrote trivia for game show host and comedian J. Keith van Straaten's
game show pilot presentation, "The Waiting Game". I also wrote material
and assisted in design of visuals for his live game show concept "Word
1", which had a three-day test run live in Los Angeles.
