Okay, so I admit that I was one of 10 million people to watch ABC’s Wipeout last night. I told myself I wouldn’t watch before the series started because I thought it was going to be JUST another game show. I turned it on last night and laughed my ass off the whole time. I don’t know what it is about people falling that’s so funny. I don’t know what was funnier, the sucker punch wall, the big red balls, or the sweeper. I was crying laughing. So that goes without saying, that Wipeout has won me over and I totally “get it” now. It’s like Double-Dare on crack. Love it.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Me too, and my biggest shame is that I let my kids watch it with me. Luckily, they are soooo sweet they (of course) laugh at the falls but then they get really excited for the people who manage to get past all the crap that gets thrown at them. Because, truly, if I were dumb enough to go on that show, well, let’s just say I might not even manage to make it past the starting ramp…
