Poor Mechanical Skills

Here I am at age 10 on Chicago's "Bozo Show" (widely syndicated through the midwest at the time on cable). The challenge: to toss ping-pong balls into a series of ever-further buckets. The verdict: I suck.

Points to note while watching the video - [1] how bizarrely closely I stand behind the girl (hey, I was nervous, anxious, something.); and, [2] my awkward lunge to grab my prizes and get the hell off the stage the nanosecond after I miss bucket #4.

Oops, I gave away the ending.




Post-Scriptum: This video has been pulled from YouTube as a result of all those people out there posting Colbert-Show clips. So watch it QT instead.

I got busted on a copyright rap. YouTube took the thing down.
