Welcome to something brand new. We're going to call this new segment, throwback Thursday slash where are they now?

0:33.0

Throwback Thursday. I didn't actually invent that term, but you know, it just seemed appropriate to use it since it's coming out on Thursday.

And we're going to do an in-depth look at someone whose story has evolved considerably.
