About me
My real name is Chad Mosher. As of this writing, I'm twenty years old in Flint, Michigan. Many of my edits revolve around professional wrestling and game shows. I’m a college student and quiz bowl coach living who, as a life-long game show fan, has had the amazing advantage of being a contestant on and working on many different sorts of game shows. When I say life-long fan, I absolutely mean it. My mother always says that when she brought me home from the hospital after birth, she had sat me down in front of the TV while she was making dinner or something. It just so happened that Wheel of Fortune was playing. She claims that I was laughing and crying at the lights and sounds on the program and, since that night, I’ve had an attachment to the game show genre.
My first real game show moment came at the age of twelve when I passed various tests and auditions to become a contestant on Jeopardy’s 2003 kid’s week. It’s kind of rare for a person to accomplish one of his life goals before he can grow a mustache, but I managed. I had been in the lead for most of the show, but sadly a rogue Final Jeopardy clue knocked me down to a second place finish. Still, $2,000 wasn’t a bad gig for this twelve year old. My second big game show moment came six years later in 2008, when I passed more tryouts and tests to play on CBS’s Million Dollar Password. Playing with Julie Chen and Phil Keoghan earned me a cool $25,000 check and more fame and exposure.
In between and around those two moments have been some other really neat and exciting game show experiences. I had the pleasure of working PlayCafe, the internet's first interactive game show network from 2007 to late 2008. I started off as the only trivia writer, and then I moved to trivia manager (managing the other writers we employed). I was then promoted to manager of operations, pretty much overseeing most aspects of the company. Eventually, our regular on-air host was unable to continue to perform her duties. My boss asked if I would be able to "construct" my own set in my home area and host the show.
Of course, I jumped on this opportunity because I've always wanted to be a game show host. In August 2008, at the age of eighteen, I achieved my second major life goal of being a real game show host. Each week, I hosted a two-hour live program featuring trivia and other fun games. Due to financial issues (and who doesn't have those these days?), I hosted my final show in mid-December. I’ve had a whole bunch of other awesome opportunities and appearances, like working hand-in-hand with former Beat the Geeks host J. Keith van Straaten on game show pilots and presentations he developed, produced and shot in Los Angeles. I was also a multiple time winner for America’s Team on the syndicated program Trivial Pursuit: America Plays. I’ve also won many times, around $5,000 in cash and prizes, on GSN Live, the network’s weekday call-in program – such a feat that in the summer of 2009, they traveled to my hometown to profile me and my winnings and to let me host a live game where a caller won a laptop!
