Studying broadcasting and working at a grocery store.
I bet you don't remember CNN's Checkout Channel. Do you?

I had a feeling that was before your time. Briefly, the Checkout Channel was seen in checkout lanes of grocery stores throughout the U.S. It came and went relatively quickly in the early 1990s -- in what was one of few flops for Ted Turner. Well, let's hope you don't flop here in Easy As Pi. Ashley is holding one of our Super Crag dice. She will roll it one time. But before she does, you'll predict whether her roll will be higher or lower than pi. Now, as you can see, pi is equal to 3.1415926 -- and a bunch of other digits we obviously didn't have room for. That means a roll of 1, 2 or 3 would be lower than pi; a roll of 4, 5 or 6 would be higher than pi. Make the right call -- and we'll make you $5000 richer. (audience cheers) For the five large, will Ashley's roll be higher or lower than pi? |

Doug: Going hi. Ashley, give it a roll. Ashley: All right, Frank. I hope I roll a high number. (Ashley rolls cube down ramp) (dings; audience applause)A 6! Yeah, that's higher than pi alright. $5000 for ya, Frank. Any plans for this newfound wealth? |

Well, it would help with my tuition a lot, but I would just take a little bit for a Nintendo Switch.
