A TV Weatherman's Second Life

This isn’t really about meteorology. It’s about Terry Kneiss, the only contestant in the history of The Price Is Right to ever exactly guess the value of the Showcase in the Showcase Showdown.

A former TV weatherman, Kneiss was known for being more accurate than most thanks to the way his brain worked—he was able to memorize weather combinations, causes and effects. He won two regional Emmy Awards in 1993 and 1994.

His brain also made him an ace at blackjack, and at memorizing prizes on The Price Is Right.

“Good TV is rehearsed TV,” Terry likes to say.
