Reality Check: CMU student nerds up for TBS

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Katie Correll has a degree in mechanical engineering, is studying for her master's at the Carnegie Mellon University Entertainment Technology Center and, last summer, did a puppetry internship with the creative folks of "Sesame Street."
She's interested in robotics and once worked for avant-garde puppeteer Basil Twist.
How could Ms. Correll, 24, NOT be a shoo-in to appear on "King of the Nerds"?
