The Morning Midway: Unicycle Wiz Wesley Williams Makes It Big as Jeopardy Question

Last night on Jeopardy, Alex Trebeck posed: He rides a 20-foot high unicycle.  Nobody's board lit up. Silence. Alex spoke: Wesley Williams. And I lit up, proud, awed and happy for the kid.  American made.  I saw him dazzle a crowd on the Gong Show last season.  He's the real thing.

TV is proving to be a great presenter -- and respecter -- of circus action (notice how I avoided "circus arts").  Some of the better and even best acts out there are now wowing in prime time.

Go, Wesley, go!
