Dan Rather Retires to Concentrate on Quizzo

In a surprising twist to Dan Rather's announced retirement, the CBS News anchorman revealed why he is stepping out of the newsroom: He wants to become a full-time Quizzo player. "Ever since I was a kid," says Rather, "I wanted to play professional quizzo. But things back then were so primitive, I realized I could never make a living at it. But now that Johnny Goodtimes is giving away such luxurious prizes, I feel like I can give up my day job and pursue my dream. I mean, do you know how far a $25 gift certificate goes at the Rendezvous?" Rather's first quizzo contest was a success, as he teamed up with the boys of 1022 to pull off a victory on Wednesday.
