The prank is kind of ruined by YouTube's forcing you to watch an ad first, even while revealing the title of the video you are about to watch.

During the interviews, when Oz said Susan's hometown of Portland, Maine was "a stone's throw" from Paul's hometown of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, I wondered if he was confusing it with the much-closer Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I got FJ but am a little surprised nobody guessed John C. Fremont. I mean...

those who have actually read the james bond novels know that ian fleming's "dr. no" was the owner/operator of a guano mine on crab key.

Haven’t the judges negged “Singing in the Rain” in the past? It sounded to me like she added the “g,” but my CC had the correct spelling.

this conversation about American rock bands reminds me of one we had several years ago on this site, regarding that game that is the opposite of TD (the name escapes me). The question was "name an American rock band" and we were all over the place, because the biggest American rock artists tend to b...

Anyway, Michael Richards was solid in his guest run and he'd be fine to take the job on a permanent basis, but I prefer Ken thus far.

Put me down as definitely wanting to see Kramer as host.
(apologies if this joke has been made before)

Not accepting “fed” for “federal reserve”? I guess since the question was cut off there may have been a reason for this, but cmon judges.

It seems like principal architect is someone who is in charge of a building, who supervises all of the many construction projects that go on at a large facility. Did I M Pei fulfill that role? I think his function was only to design the pyramid. He was probably never architect in Residence at the L...

BILLBOARD #1 HITS

These two singers whose names rhyme with each other had #1 hits with the same title; one in 1994, the other in 2008.

Who are Madonna and Rihanna? ("Take a Bow")

I got this one, but only because it was a question on an old episode of The Chase.

I have a feeling that FJ clue was pretty easy for those of us in the over 50 demo. Avon was a bigger deal 40 years ago. Would younger people even know Avon exists? I'm 34 and I got it, but probably because I watched Edward Scissorhands and remember "Avon calling!" Depends if they're fans of Edward ...

I knew the book Pioneers (I own a bookstore) but then went and confused Cooper with Jack London. Then said Kipling for Tolstoy—the name did not sound particularly Russian to me. Did Mike say the name with a bit of a Russian accent? No nearly as strong as Alex would sometimes do, but I thought I hea...

Apparently I can't count to 8 fast enough for crossword clues - I thought "trinket" was 8. I don't know why I thought a talisman could also be used for evil or bad luck (ie the monkey paw from the Brady Bunch), but I guess it's for good luck, mainly.

Monkey paw? Do you mean the Tiki idol?

The clue never said it was. So you would have been okay with CSNY or NKotB being in the category? You mean like this? #5448, aired 2008-04-23 MUSICAL INITIALS $400: The 4 members in the band CSNY or this? #8264, aired 2020-10-22 ABBREVIATED BANDS $200: A boy band: NKOTB #6418, aired 2012-07-11 ABBR...

Prosecco was my favorite WAG of the night Prosecco seemed like a great guess to me. I said Asti, but when she said Prosecco I thought she could possibly be correct, and turns out Prosecco is also named for an Italian town. [not sure if you're implying that Prosecco was a poor guess or a good one] M...

I wish they had negged “Cracker Jacks,” but I knew they wouldn’t.

Did anybody catch that HOOPS clue in this game, "In 1990 this Chicago Bull banged the Cleveland Cavaliers with a career-high 69 points"?

How does "bang" mean "to defeat"?

I don’t get that either. Can anyone use it in a sentence?
