He seems like a super nice/fun/smart guy. But exudes nyc hipster cool.

Nah. I think Austin is more of a bro than a hipster. I say this as a vintage New Yorker who has closely observed both subcultures.

The show’s Instagram page today featured a picture of the first Canadian champ, who was identified only as Barbara. Can any show historians provide more information?

The first Canadian contestant in the Archive is Bruce Fauman, who won five games in Season 1.

I thought it was odd it took four years for a Canadian champ. Granted, Bruce is dead, but I doubt she was second.dhkendall wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 10:13 pmThat would contradict the claim of “first Canadian champ” above then ...cheezguyty wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 9:48 pmThe first Canadian contestant in the Archive is Bruce Fauman, who won five games in Season 1.

Inside Edition is running a piece today on Paris Themmen's J! appearance. In a Skype interview, Paris confirms that his "Mike Teavee" role was one of the tidbits provided for Alex's index card, but Alex chose the international backpacking anecdote.

From what I can tell, Paris' attitude seems to be "OK, I did that, and that was then, so moving right along ..."squarekara wrote: ↑Thu Mar 15, 2018 4:37 pm Inside Edition is running a piece today on Paris Themmen's J! appearance.
