I have made an amazing internet discovery that will knock your socks off: a game show host that I think you know so well resides in the Appalachian Mountains of my home state of North Carolina, where his wife owns a pottery. If you said Jim "Card Shark of the Century" Perry, that's who it is, which is exactly who he should be! Here's the link to his wife June's business:
Shambhala Pottery
It also has a link to her blog, where you can find pictures of the couple's new house.
