Bob Caton, Communications Director for the state House of Representatives, Democratic Caucus, a Mechanicsburg resident and Pottsville native, will be a contestant on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," airing today.
Caton is a son of Bob and Ann Caton, Frackvile. He is a 1987 graduate of North Schuylkill High School and a 1996 graduate of Penn State Harrisburg. He lives in Mechanicsburg, with his wife, Kristi, who went with him to New York City and sat in the Millionaire audience as his on-air companion for the show.
In September, when Caton taped his episode of Millionaire, the couple had been married only 10 months. They had to cancel their honeymoon to pay their dog's veterinary bills. The animal is doing better and the Catons hope to win big on Millionaire so they can have the honeymoon of a lifetime.
Before his work as communications director, Caton worked in radio.
Hosted by the Emmy Award-winning Meredith Vieira, Millionaire can be seen locally in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area on WNEP (ABC), weekdays at 12:30 p.m. or in the Harrisburg area on WPMT (FOX43), weekdays at 1 p.m. with a repeat episode from a previous season of Millionaire airing at 1:30 p.m.
