From the Philadelphia Inquirer (Sunday):

Entertainer Eddie Bruce, who sang "High Hopes" at the Harry Kalas memorial last month, will turn up at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (6ABC). He's billed under his birth name, Eddie Horwitz.

At 12:27 pm at the end of the news show and before WWTBAM began at 12:30, WPVI (ABC-6 Phila.) ran a quick teaser on this contestant. It emphasized his "WE" appeal, mentioning that he would be singing on the show.

Never heard of Fiji water; is it a regional product?

So it's nihil obstat® for me.

No, its a snob product. Its always used as an example of how bad bottled water is for the environment. The plastic is shipped from China to Fiji, then the full bottles of water are shipped from Fiji to the US. You can imagine the carbon footprint is huge.

He has What Else® credentials.

$4K: I'm out. Even before the choices came up, I said Germany.

Even though I'll be required to sneer at your What Else credentials, I still hope you're using an anecdote about karaoke at your auditions, Harv!

I really don't want people touching any beverages I'm going to drink.

I didn't get the chance to post this yesterday.

It was in Michael Klein's "local gossip" column in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
