True story. Chris Hayes, of MSNBC, as a young reporter, covered the Maine State Fair. In Maine they grow potatoes, lots of potatoes, so they have a Potato Queen. He interviewed her, and fell in love with her. He asked her father for her hand in marriage, but the father rejected the offer with scorn. She, the daughter, was the potato queen, and Hayes was just a commentator.

True Story.
