Ah, but my legal name and the name that appears on my DL are two different things.
My given name is Jon Christopher Lemon. I have ALWAYS gone by my middle name, and moreover, the short form (unless I was in trouble with Mom ;)).
However, high school civics taught me that my \"legal name\" is whatever form of that above name that I choose to use, and all I have to do to make it official is sign it to documents and such. So my legal name is \"Chris Lemon\", and that's what I sign to any and all forms, including my signature on my DL and my IRS return
So if I ever find myself in the audience on TPiR (and I'm eligible again, no longer being in the broadcasting biz), I will be writing \"Chris\" on all of my forms, and they will be writing \"Chris\" on my nametag, and that is all I have to say about that. :)

Just to clear things up (in case there's some rule I'm not aware of), are you eligible because you are no longer working in the broadcasting industry or no longer working for a CBS affil?

I think he meant that if in the future he is no longer working in the Biz, which would mean that he is now. However I don't think Chris is ineligible to be a contestant anyway unless he has close ties to the show such as working for a CBS affiliate or Fremantle. Is that the case Chris?

Specifically because I'm no longer working for a CBS affil, but I'm not in the broadcasting business anymore, either. Just a lonely ol' tech writer for Atari nowadays, that's me.

This was brought up on the GSN's boards. I stated/asked that if someone worked for an ABC affiliate; they should be elegible; I was definatly told no. What's the answer?
