Several Grady students and recent graduates had the opportunity to work with Deborah Norville (ABJ '79) on her new game show, "The Perfect Line," this summer. When Norville realized the show would be shooting in metro Atlanta, she reached out to the College to hire production assistants for the inaugural season.
“The Perfect Line” invites contestants to play a series of games testing their knowledge by arranging events, items or people in the correct order to create “the perfect line.” The show premiered on broadcast television and the Game Show Network in September.
