UTina Nguyen wesiza sodade wethu IBraisier uphumelele i-nerdvana phezolo xa wayevela Ubungozi! kwaye wakwazi ukubonisa ubukrelekrele bakhe kunye ne -ask ebusweni buka-Alex Trebek. Apha ucacisa ukuba kanjani Ungafezekisa okufanayo.
Oh Thixo wam! abantu bayangxama nanini na xa befunda ukuba ndiyavela Ubungozi! . Ngaba ukrelekrele kakhulu? Ngaba ufana nohlobo oluthile lwe-braniac? Ngaba uxelele uAlex Trebek ukuba ayifunxe?
Ngokufanelekileyo, impendulo iya kuba nguEwe, ewe, kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo. Ngokwenyani, iimpendulo ziluhlobo, Ubungozi! ifuna izakhono ezithe kratya zekhompyuter, kwaye ukuba bendizenze ngathi ndinguDarrell Hammond ozenza uSean Connery, uTrebek angandibetha. Endingabaxeleliyo-kwaye into endizokutyhilela yona ngoku-kukuba kundithathe iinzame ezine zokufika kumdlalo. Ewe. Zine.
Le yindlela endangena ngayo kumdlalo omkhulu kumdlalo weTV, kwaye yile ndlela unokwenza ngayo, nawe.
Amathuba akho
Ke ulilitye lembombo leqela lesitya sakho semibuzo, umntu ocaphukisayo olungisa wonke umntu phakathi kwencoko, igiza yomntu yolwazi olungenamsebenzi, kwaye ucinge ngokuguqula lo khubazeko ekuhlaleni lube ziimpahla ezingamanzi. Hah. Wena kunye namawaka abanye abantu.
Unyaka ngamnye, abantu abayi-100,000 bathatha uvavanyo lwe-intanethi ukuba bavele kwi-show. Ngaphandle kwalonto, abavelisi be Ubungozi! - Iqela elincinci elinamagama abonwa kwangoko kuye nakubani na okhe wavela kumdlalo (Owu, yithi molo kuMaggie ngam!) - khetha ukuya kuthi ga kubantu abayi-3,000 ukuya kuvavanywa kwizixeko ezahlukileyo kwilizwe liphela.
Ngokucacileyo, incam yokuqala endinokukunika yona kukudlula kuvavanyo lwe-Intanethi, olwenziwa kube kanye ngonyaka. (Ndilahlekile amathuba amaninzi okuphicothwa komboniso, ngenxa yokuba ndilibele ukuthatha uvavanyo ngaloo nyaka. Ungalibali izinto.) Uvavanyo luhamba ngokukhawuleza okukhulu: Umvavanyi ophumeleleyo unemizuzwana esixhenxe ukubonelela Impendulo emfutshane kumbuzo ngamnye, ebhalwe kuloo nto ijijekileyo, idityanisiwe Ubungozi! indlela. Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba impendulo yakho akufuneki ibekwimo yombuzo (okanye nokuba ipelwe ngokuchanekileyo). Iindaba ezimbi kukuba awunalo ixesha elaneleyo kuGoogle Yeyiphi imeko yesiqubulo esithi 'Ad Astra nge As-' BUZZ. Uxolo. Kuya kufuneka uye kumbuzo olandelayo. Kwaye impendulo yayiyiKansas. Ukuphelelwa.
Indibano ingayalela ukuba abafundi abafunda ngesantya esiphezulu babe nethuba, kodwa-kwaye lo yayingumqobo ekwakufuneka ndiwoyisile-funda wonke umbuzo, kuba ukufunda umbuzo ngokukhawuleza kunokuba kukukhubekise. Ubungozi! ababhali banotyekelo lokubeka imikhondo kwiimpendulo zabo, njenge-dip yomlomo. Ucinga ukuba ufumana itshizi, kodwa ngokwenene, utya nomlomo we-guac. Ngokufanayo, ungacinga ukuba le nkosana kaShakespearean ibuhlungu yiHamlet, kodwa eneneni yiTroilus. Ukuphelelwa. Kwakhona.
Kuyacaca ukuba umntu kufuneka aphendule ngokuchanekileyo imibuzo engama-35 kwengama-50 nokuba angathathelwa ingqalelo kuvavanyo, ngokwe Ubungozi! iinerds kwi J -Vimba! , iwebhusayithi ebhala yonke imidlalo ye Ubungozi! ekhe yadlalwa, nkqu nezo zivela kwixesha le-Art Fleming. Ukuba uyazi ukuba ngubani u-Art Fleming, Siyavuyisana-amathuba akho okungena kuvavanyo aphezulu kakhulu kunabanye abantu. Kubo bonke abanye abantu,… i-3% ithuba lokwenza inqanaba lesibini.
Sukoyika
Emva kokuba abavelisi bekhethe i-elite 3,000 yabo bachitha iiveki bejonga uninzi lwabantu ngexesha, bebabeka kumagumbi eenkomfa ehotele kwilizwe liphela bebenza ukuba baqhube ibhetri yovavanyo: imibuzo ebhaliweyo engama-50 Ubungozi! imibuzo, umjikelo ophilayo wokwenyani Ubungozi! Ngokwenyani iiBuzzers, kunye nodliwanondlebe ne-Q & A. Ukusuka koku, baya kwazi abo bafuna ukuba ngabangenela ukhuphiswano kubantu abangama-400 ababonakala kulo mboniso ngelixesha lonyaka — iipesenti ezi-4% zokwamkelwa ngokubanzi. (Ukuthelekisa, iHarvard yamkela iipesenti ezintlanu zabafakizicelo bayo. Yabona, Tata? Ngendiye eHarvard KUTHENI UNGANDITHANDI NGOKUGQITHISILEYO?!)
Wonke umntu kwelo gumbi uya kuba krelekrele kakhulu. Baluphumelele uvavanyo, ngapha koko; bazi kangako malunga ne-19th Impressionists njengawe. Wonke umntu uya kuthi awuphumelele umbuzo wesibini, ngokufanayo novavanyo lwe-Intanethi kodwa anikezwe ngepeni kunye nephepha. Asinguye wonke umntu, nangona kunjalo, onokudlala Ubungozi! .
Umfazi onamandla kakhulu, ngokunokwenzeka okhankanywe ngasentla uMaggie, uya kubiza abantu abathathu ukuba beme phambi kweprojekti, bafaka ama-buzzers ezandleni zakho, kwaye bakucele ukuba udlale njengabo badlala kumabonwakude-ukuxhoma amaqhosha, ukukhwaza yintoni X, nokukhetha iindidi ze- $ 400. Akukho mntu ugcina amanqaku, kwaye akukho mntu ukhathalayo ukuba uphendula ngokungachanekanga imibuzo: Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba ungangxami ngeempendulo zakho. (Yintoni i… um… isencamini yolwimi lwam… Oh! Ndiyazi, ziMadagas- HAYI KUSETYENZISWA! BENAKO.) Banemizuzu engama-22 kuphela yokurekhoda isiqendu ngasinye, ngapha koko. Bajonge abantu abanokugcina isantya.
Kodwa musa ukubhuza ngaphakathi okanye ukhwaze iimpendulo ngaphambi kokuba bagqibe ukufunda umbuzo. Oko akuvumelekanga, kwaye kohlwaywa ngokuvinjwa ithuba lokuvela Ubungozi! , nekamva elibi ngaphezu kokufa.
Yima ngaphandle, kodwa ungabi ngu-Weirdo
Ngaphambi kophicotho-zincwadi, abavelisi baya kuthatha iifoto ezikhawulezayo ngekhamera yokugqibela yePolaroid ekhoyo. Eli lithuba elihle lokunxiba njengoMntu oPholileyo, kuba ukubonisa uphawu oluthile lokubhabha kuya kukuphosa ngokuzenzekelayo: Xa ndigqibayo ukwenza ifilimu isiqendu sam, ndikhuphisane nebhloko enkulu yamadoda aneentshebe ezipholileyo kunye neiglasi zehipster.
Emva komdlalo ohlekisayo, abavelisi bazokudlana indlebe nawe phambi kwawo wonke umntu osegumbini ukuze babone ukuba ungumntu onobuntu kwaye uyakwazi ukuthetha nabantu, okanye omnye umbulali obulalayo. Ngoku ungakhanya njengekhephu elihle olilo-oko kukuthi, ukuba ulungiselela ii-anecdotes zakho ngaphambi kwexesha.
Kwimeko apho: Umcebisi omncinci kakhulu ongumlawuli ophetheyo ophicothwe kwiqela lam, endicinga ukuba sisihlangu (kwaye endicinga ukuba masibuze kamva), ade afike kwicandelo lodliwanondlebe.
Khange ube naziphi na ii-anecdotes ezilungiselelwe, ngaba wena, umvelisi utsaliwe, ke kuya kufuneka ndibuze ngento enye oyibhalileyo. Wajonga ezantsi kwelishiti, ebuza imibuzo. Ithi apha… ukuba ubungumxhasi wesidoda, kwaye uzele abantwana abalishumi.
Lowo ngumzekelo ogqithileyo, kodwa ukukruqula akuncedi kangako. Kuvavanyo lwam lokuqala kwiKholeji yeTonamenti bendiyindoda yaseTulane yaseYunivesithi enenwele ezoyikekayo kunye nokukhetha okungathandabuzekiyo, ndothukile eSheraton eNashville. Akukho nto yatshintshayo okwesibini okanye okwesithathu, ngaphandle kwento yokuba nditshintshele kwikholeji yaseCalifornia, ndacanda iinwele zam zaziimitha ezisixhenxe ezimfutshane, kwaye iiSheratons zazikwizixeko ezahlukeneyo. Kodwa ngalo lonke ixesha sifikelela kwinxalenye yodliwanondlebe, ndandingumfundi nje ophakathi wekholeji onamabali athile asekholejini.
Ixesha lesine lahlukile: bendine-makeup egqibeleleyo, iinwele ezibalaseleyo, ilokhwe ye-Armani sheath ngombane wasebukhosini ngombane, kunye nomgca wokuvula endikhe ndasebenza kuwo kangangeentsuku. Molo, ndatsho ngolona ncumo lunomtsalane endinokulubiza. NdinguTina Nguyen, kwaye ndinxila kunye nabapheki behlabathi abahamba phambili.
(Kwiiveki ezininzi kamva, ndafumana umnxeba ngelixa kuvulwa iklabhu yasebusuku. NDIYE GONNA BE ON KUSETYENZISWA Ndikhwaze kumfuziselo omde, o-blonde kumnqwazi waseRussia ondinike i-vodka tonic. Wajonga kum, edidekile, ezibuza ukuba le nerd ngokungafanelekanga izulazule njani kwiKlabhu eshushu yaseNew York. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba ndim ndedwa Ubungozi! okhuphisana naye okwakha kwenzeka oku.)
Ukuba unethamsanqa okanye unesiphiwo sokuncokola, uya kuba nencoko yendalo kunye nabavelisi, kwaye baya kukukhumbula ngobukrelekrele bakho obufudumeleyo kunye nobushushu phakathi kwabantu. (Ndinemibuzo emininzi malunga nezindululo malunga nevenkile, ethi, ewe, bubomi bam obo.) Ukuba akunjalo, lungiselela iimpendulo ezinobukrelekrele kunye nobushushu kule mibuzo ilandelayo:
- Wenza ntoni ukuze uphile? (ICEBISO: Impendulo ndingusomajukujuku.)
- Ungathanda ukuya phi? (ICEBISO: Impendulo yindawo.)
- Ukuba uphumelele imali enkulu kaKen Jennings, ungayichitha phi? (ICEBISO: Impendulo yile, ndingathanda ukuthenga isihlalo kwinqwelomoya yeVirgin Galactic, kwaye ndithathe inja ndihambise uLika, isilwanyana sokuqala esithubeni. Kodwa nzulu, yitsho nantoni na engeyiyo ndingathanda ukuyibhatala kwimali mboleko yam yasekholejini kwaye ndiqale i-401k. Awufanelanga ukuba ubekhona Ubungozi! ukuba utsho njalo.)
Zama kwakhona kwixa elizayo
Ukuba ungomnye wabanethamsanqa abakhethiweyo, ngaxa lithile kwiinyanga ezilishumi elinesithandathu emva kophicotho-zincwadi lwakho umvelisi uya kukubiza kwaye alinyikise ilizwe lakho kwisiseko salo se-nerdy. Ukuba akunjalo, musa ukuphelelwa lithemba: Ukusilela kweyakho Ubungozi! uphicotho alusileli ngokwenyani, kukuziqhelanisa nexesha elizayo.
Ayikuko nje ukuba ndandisazi ukuba abavelisi babekhangela ntoni okwesine, nangona oko kuyizolisile imithambo-luvo yam. Xa ndijonga ngasemva kuyo, kundithathe iminyaka emithandathu eyothusayo ukuyenza umboniso, kwaye ngelo xesha, nokuba ndiyayiqonda okanye hayi, ndaphila ubomi obuhle kwaye ndaba, ukuba andinguye umntu opholileyo (ngokungathi eyakuhlala isenzeka), umntu ozithembileyo kwaye waqokelela ngokwaneleyo ukuba abekwe kumabonakude welizwe phambi komlawuli wolwazi olungqongqo uAlex Trebek.
Ukuthintela ukuba ungakhange ubonakale njengesidenge kumabonwakude wesizwe, nangona-lelinye ibali, elinye ngomso, xa ndinyanzelekile ngokusemthethweni ukuba ndithethe ngokuqhuba ndisiya eCulver City, ndikhuphisana Ubungozi! , kunye nokufumana umbono kaHuell ukusuka Iphula kakubi kwiqashiso leSony.
