Nathan himself was just a high school student when he won the contest[6] and in 2017 he appeared on NPR's quiz show "Ask Me Another" in the segment 'This That Or The Other', where he talked about his theme song "It was a contest. So it was a promotion for their album, which came out a couple years ago. It's a band called Tally Hall, which, unfortunately, doesn't exist anymore. Yeah. But they wrote this song. And now it just follows me around." The host, Ophira Eisenberg, quips that the song is very similar to the theme from "The Flintstones".[7] Nathan went on to the final round of the show, but unfortunately, did not win.[8]
