John Sackey from Tempe, Arizona: “An airplane landed on the top of
my car”
Sackey, a
high school senior, was driving near the Sky Harbor airport in Phoenix when a
novice pilot on her first solo flight misjudged her landing. No one was seriously hurt, though the plane
suffered some damage and John’s Volkswagen Beetle took a big dent to its roof.
17-year-old Barrie Algaw from Venice, California and 53-year-old
Preston Peterson from Santa Monica, California: “We just won the World’s
Surfing Championship”
Peterson and
Algaw are teammates in an unusual offshoot known as “tandem surfing.” In its traditional form, a man rides the
surfboard while holding the woman aloft, as they both perform acrobatic tricks,
poses and stunts. Peterson is a surfing veteran, having won numerous titles as
far back as the 1930s. Remarkably, at
the time of their win, Algaw couldn’t even swim. As Barrie Boehne, she would later compete and
perform with her husband Steve, both in the water and on land as tandem
skateboarders.
Special guest
Jack E Leonard tests how the panel responds to his sarcastic insults and other
stimuli. They each have their fingers
touching metal strips that purportedly send the intensity of their true
“emotional responses” to a device operated by the show’s lie detector expert, Lincoln
Zonn (
