Evan White of IWearYourShirt.com was this week’s contestant and he barely got one correct. Barely, because he eventually got the third question right after receiving a hint.  His performance was so poor, Shawn Amos insisted that Evan return for another try next week.  It wasn’t clear whether Shawn wanted Evan to return for his own amusement or to give him a chance to redeem himself.  Either way, Evan will have a second chance on next week’s show.

Had Evan answered two of the three questions correctly, he would have won the DVD of It’s Garry Shandling’s Show: The Complete First Season courtesy of Shout! Factory.
