The host of Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee on saying goodbye to former sidekick Aaron Chen, how he became friendly with Jacinda Ardern, and his secret to falling asleep
Have you ever won a spelling bee?
No! I don’t think I’ve entered any formalised spelling competition. When I was eight or nine, there was a guy who I used to copy during tests. We were doing a spelling test and the word was “vehicle” and he made an absolutely terrible attempt at it. I knew he’d spelled it wrong and was like, wait – have I been copying someone who’s more stupid than me this whole time?
