Bob Harris Now Pronounces You Man And Wife
I've said before and I'll say it again: Bob Harris has the most peculiar life of anyone I've ever met. I really have no higher compliment than this.
What unusual escapade has he been involved in most recently? Let's consult the New York Times Wedding section:
Dara Hellman, an adjunct instructor of English, and Daniel Frederick Melia, an associate professor of Celtic studies and rhetoric and a former "Jeopardy!" contestant, were married on Wednesday on the set of the game show at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif. The ceremony was led by Bob Harris, a friend and former "Jeopardy!" contestant, who was named a deputy commissioner of civil marriage by Los Angeles County.
I'm not going to pretend I'm not jealous about this.

Wasn't uh, Bill Murray's character in "Lost In Translation" named Bob Harris?
