Well, if you were not a fan of the NBA, then your calling was the Scripps Spelling Bee on ABC.
The winner, Kavya Shivashankar, was believed to be the early favorite going in and ended up claiming the ultimate prize. The word that she had to spell was "Laodicean" which is defined as someone who is, "indifferent or lukewarm especially in matters of religion."
Shivashankar won the top prize of over $30,000 in cash and bonds. In this economy, that money will probably be gone just like the popularity of Slumdog Millionaire.
