No but I went tuchus over teakettle minutes before air time at WVPT


Sr in high school. We were asked to answer phones for the annual fund drive during a live broadcast of "Pop Quiz" (which I had been on the previous year).

Phone area was on a narrow platform with a table and folding chairs. I pulled the chair out in order to sit down but apparently pulled it out too far. Unbeknownst to me, the back legs were off the edge of the platform.

Went backwards, flipped, knocked over the set behind me and nearly broke a TV. It was vintage Chevy Chase.

The PS on that story is that donations were only trickling in that night so during a break, the MC asked if I could recreate the flip again to get the phones ringing.
