Scott Rogowsky is a comedian \u2013 he knows how to make fun of himself. That\u2019s how he ended up roaming<\/a> New York City Comic Con with his own photo printed out like a \u201cWanted\u201d poster, filming himself asking strangers, \u201cHave you seen this man?\u201d<\/p>\n These passersby showed a flicker of recognition, looking at the tall, bearded man like someone they had known in a past life, but couldn\u2019t quite place.<\/p>\n \u201cYou look familiar! Where do I know you from?\u201d someone asks, as though Rogowsky could be a friend of a friend they had met at a party.<\/p>\n \u201cI know your face,\u201d another person says, staring thoughtfully at the 41-one-year-old.<\/p>\n A cosplayer dressed as a Ghostbuster finally figures it out.<\/p>\n \u201cDid you used to do that game show online?\u201d he asks. \u201cLike, every night?\u201d<\/p>\n Rogowsky was just poking fun at himself, embracing the persona of a washed-up internet sensation. \u201cI know my place,\u201d he tells TechCrunch. \u201cI\u2019m not walking around like everybody\u2019s supposed to know who I am.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Techcrunch event<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoston, MA<\/span> But seven years ago, everyone did.\u00a0<\/p>\n Rogowsky was once the face of HQ Trivia, an app that exploded into popular culture, then faded out of the public consciousness almost as fast. Between 2017 and 2019, Rogowsky hosted the live mobile game show twice a day. At its peak, it drew more than 2.4 million daily viewers each night. It garnered 20 million lifetime downloads.<\/p>\n Now thecomedian is back with an app of his own called Savvy, which shares a lot of the DNA of HQ. Savvy\u2019s first game, TextSavvy,<\/a> is a daily live game show where players can earn cash \u2014 only this time, viewers are competing against Rogowsky in a word puzzle game that\u2019s something like a hybrid of The New York Times\u2019 Wordle and Connections, rather than trivia.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI believe this is my calling in a weird way,\u201d Rogowsky says. \u201cI get up there in front of that camera, there\u2019s thousands of people watching at home \u2013 millions, back in the HQ days \u2013 and it just flows.\u201d<\/p>\n \n
