	Chris participated in the ''Riffing Rainbow'' panel, which allowed audience members to come up to the stage and read terrible fan fiction for a prize. If the contestant did not correctly pronounce a syllable (as per the script exactly) the contestant would lose. Chris first appears at 0:41 mark and is the second contestant at 5:25. Briefly taking the top spot, he roleplays as a host while other contestants take part.
