Biography

American trivia buff who calls himself the "Trivia King," White makes 300 appearances a year in nightclubs, corporate parties and radio talk show that demonstrate his amazing ability to amass an astonishing amount of useless, arcane information. Born and brought up in Boston, he became aware of his excellent memory in the 3rd grade on the playground when his friends began talking about TV programs. He relayed to them what he could remember from episodes a year earlier. At age 10, he startled his father with what he knew of comic strips as well as the cartoonists who drew them. Raised by his mother and grandmother, he attended Brookline High School thanks to a school bus program that drove children from the inner city to more affluent suburbs. After high school, during which he played sports in addition to achieving honor roll, he attended Graham Junior College for two years. Following graduation he worked at odd jobs like switchboard operator and mail clerk, until he began to put together trivia books about Boston and black history. When sales climbed, he decided to devote his life to trivia. Now divorced, he lives in Newton with his one son. He says he can’t shut off his mind but doesn’t consider himself an obsessive person. Although White does not reveal his IQ, he does say that he is eligible for Mensa.
