For some reason, I’m on the DVD commentary track of  HORROR HIGH 35th Anniversay Edition, along with pals (and former “Beat The Geeks” costars Mark Edward Heuck and Paul Goebel.

It was incredibly fun making the commentary and I hope you enjoy it.  It comes out August 10 and can be pre-ordered here.

I should probably point out that I had never seen the movie, nor had anything to do with its creation, production, or distribution.  I guess Leonard Maltin wasn’t available.

It’s only on 20 times per week. Hope you can find it on your G4TechTV. Remember when I was about 50 pounds lighter? It helped that I was training for a marathon at the time!
I also am told it’s been running in the Philippines. More turn-of-the-century pop culture for the rest of the world. More non-money for me!

I hosted 28 “webisodes” of Yahoo! Answers On The Street. The site at Yahoo features a blog on each episode that I also wrote.

I interviewed random pedestrians we encountered when we set up our camera in a public location, plus experts we booked in advance –and even a few celebrities. Check out the eps where I got to take a pitch on the field of Dodger Stadium and make succotash with Wolfgang Puck.
