Tim went to Culver City, California for the taping of his first show at Sony Pictures Studios back in April. Regarding his Jeoaprdy experience, he said,
If you get a single question right, for that moment, you feel pretty darn good about yourself, you feel like you’re the smartest person in the country for a minute. And then if you get one wrong, you feel the opposite pretty quickly, too. But, you know, don’t put too much stock in any one question. It was really just fun to be there. A great experience.
