Michael Messeri on Nickelodeon's Show "Figure It Out"
As some of you may be aware, Michael was chosen as a contestant on the Nickelodeon game show "Figure It Out." They flew us down to Orlando, Florida to tape the show as well as a racing segment. Special thanks to Maureen and Keith Abbott who let us borrow their cars.We have just been advised of the schedule air date of the show, Friday, May 8,1998. Let everyone know to tune in. Nickelodeon has an audience of over 6 million worldwide, so this publicity should benefit QMA and JSCA.
Due to the "charade" element of the show, they did not feel it appropriate to use the word "midget." They asked if they could refer to the racing as Junior Sprints on the answer board, which we agreed to. We did make sure that both QMA and JSCA patches were on Michael's driving jacket. We were hoping for time for Michael to answer any questions for the panelists but the racing segment was too long, and no time was left. They will be acknowledging the Mid Florida QMA track at the end of the show, and I am sure they will contact us if they have an influx of people calling wanting more information. We would appreciate it if you could spread the word in your regions as to the broadcast.
Thanks,
Joanne and Steve Messeri
