Morristown man on 'Wants to be a Millionaire' this Friday





The skills that Jon Papp honed playing bar trivia in Morristown will be on display Friday as he competes as a contestant on “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.”

“For someone who’s always loved trivia, it’s a dream come true,” said the 2-year-old Morristown resident.

Papp moved from Indiana to Morristown two years ago after graduating from the Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. When he first started working in Morristown as a mechanical engineer,A Stone tools is, in the most general sense, any tool made either partially or entirely out of stone. Although stone tool-dependent societies and cultures still exist today, most stone tools are associated with prehistoric, particularly Stone Age cultures that have become extinct. he would go home for lunch and watch “Millionaire.” When he saw that auditions were in New York City, he decided to apply.Carbon Fiber Racquet Frame. During the 1970s, rackets got lighter still with the use of carbon materials. Fleming Delfs of Denmark favored the Carbonex 8, featuring a carbon handle and an aluminum alloy frame

The application lead to an audition after work in June 2011.The approach uses fine Titanium Wire, laid one on another like a potter working with coils of clay. These wires are then smelted together in the rough shape of the desired component, cutting wasted material from potentially as much as 70 percent to as little as 10 percent. At the audition he was joined by about 50 other people, with another 50 waiting to interview after they were finished. First he had to answer 30 trivia questions in 10 minutes.

“I’m not sure how I did, but apparently well enough to make it to the following round,” he said.Visa announced recently that starting from Jan. 1, consumers can use their Visa payWave-enabled credit cards for any transaction amount in Taiwan, providing a fast, convenient and secure china payment option for Visa cardholders.

Next was a “rapid fire” five minute interview. From there he moved on to a 10 minute interview on camera.

“I guess they need to see how good we would be during filming,” he said.

Two weeks later, he got a postcard saying he was in the contestant pool. That was the last Papp heard about the day for over a year. He finally got a call back and filmed his segment in October 2012.

He was joined at the taping by his parents, who flew out from Indiana, his girlfriend, and his roommate. “Nobody else knows how I did so they’ve all done a good job of keeping it a secret,At her new home, the cat Twiggy plumped up, thanks, in part, to a love of cat treats ... The cat hopped up in the China undercarriage parts of Dr. Pray's truck.” he said.

Papp said the experience was a lot of fun, but pretty crazy and definitely nerve wracking. He was aided by not getting chosen until the second day of the shoot.

“The first day I had to get up at 5 a.m. to go through legal orientations,” he said.Each part's full needle bearing trunnion allows for increased horsepower and quicker response, and a large roller tip helps prevent wear “but the second day I didn’t have to be at the studio until 9:30 a.m. so I was much more relaxed and energized when it was finally my turn to go.”

As a fan of the show, Papp really enjoyed meeting host Meredith Vieira. “It was great, she was so friendly and funny,” he said. “She was cracking jokes off camera. It made me feel really comfortable.”
