Unlike most fans, Albert attended tryouts last December - and was successful. He answered 50 general information questions, took part in a mock "Jeopardy" game, and survived a personal interviews
"You had to give them some reason to put you on the show," said Albert, who is a lawyer. He gave three reasons: his son, Jason, had been on the show's "Teen Tournament"; he once filed a lawsuit in verse; and he has a collection of thousands of golf balls with corporate or other logos on them.
Show officials called in January to say Albert was in. They had particularly liked the bit about the logo golf balls. He flew to Los Angeles in February - at his own expense - and taped the show. It will be telecast Thursday on WDBJ-TV (Channel 7) at 7:30 p.m.

"If that means I'm ambitious, that's OK. I am ambitous," Principal said. "I've always been very candid about my ambitions."
Principal, perhaps best know as Pamela Barnes Ewing on the nighttime soap opera "Dallas," left the show in 1987 to pursue other projects, including producing the movies "Naked Lie" and "Blind Witness."
Her latest production, "Don't Touch My Daughter," in which she also stars, is to air Sunday on NBC-TV.
