Scripture

Philippians 2:3-11

³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

⁴Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. ⁵Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: ⁶Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, ⁷but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. ⁸And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! ⁹Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

This is Chad Pearson?

“This is Chad Pearson?” is episode #220 of the Adventures in Odyssey audio series. It was written by Marshal Younger, and originally aired on February 20, 1993.

Summary

Bart Rathbone holds a big contest and the winner gets a date with television star Chad Pearson. It's a prize every girl in Odyssey wants … except the winner!

Plot

At the Electric Palace one afternoon, Bart Rathbone notices Kim Peterson and Erica Clark glued to the row of televisions. They are watching a show starring the character Chad Pearson. Bart notices how devoted the girls are to this TV personality, and he recognizes a potential money-making opportunity. He sponsors a contest. The winner gets to spend a day with the actor Nick Grant, who plays Chad Pearson!

The young girls of the town are ecstatic at the prospect, especially Erica. But she is terribly disappointed when the winner of the contest turns out to be...Connie Kendall! As it turns out, Connie couldn’t be less interested in the whole situation. Nick ends up to be a nice guy who isn’t at all like his television character, but who is lonely. And Connie ends up making a new friend.

This plot section is too short and should be expanded. »

Notes

Trivia

Nick Grant's real name (Albert Leech) is likely a tribute to Cary Grant's real name: Archibald Leach.
This is Erica Clark's first episode.
Chad Pearson was first mentioned in #217: “Rights, Wrongs and Reasons”, in which a girl named Heather skips church so she can watch an interview with him on TV. Erin Love, who played Heather in that episode, plays Erica Clark in this episode.
Nick called Connie "Katie," and the actor who plays Connie is Katie Leigh.
Connie mentions that she used to have a crush on "that singer Rick Springload"; a likely allusion to either Rick Springfield or Bruce Springsteen.
The Electric Palace also sponsored contests in #256: “Aloha, Oy!, Part 1” and #558: “A Glass Darkly”.
A sequel to this episode exists in the form of a Byte Sized Adventures story arc called "This is Nick Grant?"

Nick Grant: Oh, right. Hi, Connie...and don't forget to shop at the Electric Place!
