I occasionally put, "Johnny Lechner" into a search engine to see if there's more to the story about his educational experience.

His experience being that he went to UW-Whitewater from 1995 until 2010, amassed enough credits to have 9 majors and 5 minors, but he did not choose to graduate. Last note was that he transferred to a school in California, but I don't see any info after that, so I'm uncertain on the details, there.

I think I became aware of him in 2005 or so, when he was saying, "well, I was _going_ to graduate, but then realized that I hadn't tried studying abroad, yet.", but, realistically he was leaning into his perpetual student status, which he parlayed into being a minor TV actor.
