After a decade of grinding, a trivia game became this comedian’s ticket to instant fame. The new CNN Film about HQTrivia airs Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT

When Scott Rogowsky auditioned to be the host of an unreleased online quiz show called HQ Trivia back in 2017, after a decade of grinding gigs in the New York City comedy scene, he didn’t think it’d be his ticket to instant fame. Not long after landing the job, however, the “game show on your phone” app – from the founders of once-popular six-second video platform Vine – became an overnight national sensation.

Rogowsky left in March 2019 to pursue other opportunities, nearly three months after Kroll was found dead in his New York City apartment. Rogowsky now owns a vintage clothing shop in Los Angeles. The app officially shuttered in February 2020 when players received a cryptic notification sent to their phones: “HQ is live. Just kidding. We’re off the air indefinitely.

GM cutting hundreds of white collar jobs | CNN BusinessGeneral Motors is cutting an unspecified number of white-collar jobs globally, part of its announced efforts to slash costs to remain competitive in the shift to electric vehicles. EVs are a vanity purchase. The future is fuel powered vehicles. 80% Of all electricity used to charge EV’s comes from coal, natural gas, & nuclear energy plants. The diesel required to operate all the heavy equipment that mines the elements such as cobalt, lithium, copper, & nickel used to manufacture the EV batteries cancels them out. Thanks Joe!
