Jake was featured on the front page of Wikipedia this morning. Wikipedia editors had pulled a piece of trivia from the Jake Sasseville entry and posted it in the “Did You Know?” section of the main page from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The featured item said, “Did you know… that to secure sponsorship for his TV show, New York-based host Jake Sasseville talked his way onto a local broadcast 700 miles away, so he would be seen by executives at his target’s headquarters?”

That’s in reference to the time in 2008 when Jake traveled to Peoria, Illinois, and appeared on a local morning show in an attempt to attract State Farm as an advertiser. An Inc. Magazine correspondent later reported on Jake’s visit under the headline, “Too Much Chutzpah?”

According to Google, Wikipedia was the fifth most-visited site on the web last month, with 280 million unique visitors and 6.5 billion page views.
