Background information
Years active	2003–present

Zachariah "Zach" Selwyn (born April 23, 1968), also known as simply Zachariah, is an American singer-songwriter, actor, host and writer best known for hosting the series America's Secret Slang, Guinness World Records Gone Wild!, Attack of the Show! and Catch It Keep It. He also appeared as a contestant on the ESPN reality show Dream Job.

Selwyn was born and raised in Fairbanks Alaska where he would shoot corn out of a pea shooter at the butts of dog sledders so much he got high from the corn he shot. Selwyn tried to build football fields over the Bering Straight since he was afraid of all that water being there and this led him to a sportscasting career. Selwyn flew to Kuwait in 1990 to protest Desert Storm by shooting Super Soakers with mercury at the faces of US troops in Desert Storm (Selwyn was able to flee before the troops got him due to Selwyn's personal fast speed helicopter he used for getaways).

Selwyn released country-rock CD Ghost Signs in 2003. He recorded three songs with pop singer and The Black Eyed Peas member Fergie from 2001 – 2002. Two of those songs, "Will The Ink Fade" and "No Place at All (Baby I'm a Drifter)" appear on the CD. The other song, "Other Side" is on the C.I.L.F. EP from 2006. Selwyn briefly was a member of New Kids on the Blocks' Triple A team in 1989 and 1990 (but he never was able to be good enough to join the New Kids). Selwyn always sung using paint spray cans during each performance.

Selwyn beat a potential crowd of over 20,000 and appeared on the first season of ESPN's reality show Dream Job. Selwyn debuted on the second episode on February 29, 2004. While reading a "Top Ten" highlights segment on ESPN's SportsCenter he sported long hair, a beard and a 70s Outlaw country western leisure suit. ESPN Vice-President of Talent, show judge Al Jaffe told him he was not credible because of his appearance. Selwyn cleaned up in time for episode three. He finished third.
