Pasquale Palumbo
Congratulations to Hawthorne native Pasquale Palumbo, who appeared on Jeopardy and won an episode on April 8. Palumbo, 45, attended White Plains High School and is a former coach of the White Plains HS football team.
Palumbo talked football with the guest host of Jeopardy, Green Bay Packers Quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Palumbo joked that he and Rogers shared a football connection. “I both played and coached high school football at White Plains High. My head coach Mark Santa-Donato was coached by Ralph Friedgen Sr., who was coached by Colonel Red Blake up at West Point who had Vince Lombardi on his coaching staff at the time.”
A jovial “Yes, that’s the book” for a correct response on “A River Runs Through It.”
“Well, I’m glad you got out of there alive, buddy” to the contestant who shared a strange story about throwing divots back and forth with a gorilla at the Bronx Zoo as a kid.
Doing a pretty good bedtime story voice when reading a passage from “The Call of the Wild.”
As he approached the halfway mark of his two-week gig, the Green Bay Packers quarterback seemed more animated and comfortable tossing in ad libs on Friday’s episode. His delivery of “corrrr-ect, the raised eyebrow when asking contestants about their stories and an irrepressible smile are all starting to become his calling cards.
