Challenge winner visits Robin on set

Posted: 06:21 AM ET

Hey folks! Remember the Morning Express Challenge? It was an online quiz in which we asked viewers questions about the show in real-time, as the show was happening.

Each day, there were two winners, one was the person with the highest score, the other was a random winner drawn from the list of everyone who played.

After the game wrapped up, we drew a grand prize winner from the list of all the daily winners. The grand prize winner was Everett Bollinger of Hereford, Texas, and last week he came to Atlanta to visit Robin on set. He also got to enjoy a VIP tour of HLN and CNN studios and an all-expenses-paid weekend in Atlanta.
