The new poll asks how many of the 13 Nathan's qualifiers in 2012 will have a female winner eating ten or more hot dogs. In 2011, seven women broke the 10 HDB threshold. Two of those qualifier winners (Stephanie Torres and Grace Lee) are not expected to compete in the 2012 qualifiers and Sonya Thomas might receive a bye as the defending female champion. Among IFOCE female rookies, Meredith Boxberger and Rebecca Oey appear capable of hitting double digits and Julie Dey ate 12 hot dogs in the 2009 Minnesota qualifier. March 26, 2012 at 12:07 pm by

ojrifkin · More posts about:Olivia Wilde, Television
Actress Olivia Wilde (House M. D., Tron: Legacy) relates the following tale from her childhood in the April edition of GQ:
I wanted to be on Saturday Night Live since I was ten. My father took me to a live taping on my birthday. Chris Farley was still in the cast and at the after-party he had a brownie eating contest.
…
It became, like, a very valuable, powerful moment in my childhood. Although it was the only eating contest I have ever lost.
This story is either incorrect or Olivia Wilde’s public birthday (March 10, 1984) is inaccurate. Saturday Night Live was never televised live on March 10 during Chris Farley’s tenure as a cast member, which started in fall 1990 and ended in 1995. During that time period March 10 fell on Sunday (1991), Tuesday (1992), Wednesday (1993), Thursday (1994) and Friday (1995).
If a new episode was televised live on Saturday, March 9, 1991, the last hour of the program would have taken place just after midnight on March 10 (when Olivia would have turned seven). No episode was produced on that date; the first live SNL episode of March 1991 was broadcast on March 16.
Olivia Wilde shares a March 10 birthday with Jon Hamm of Mad Men, who was recently caught in an apparent fib about playing baseball at the University of Texas with Roger Clemens.
