More current than they could have known!

Although two hours of Norman Lear title card would probably be better television than the average network offerings. (J! and Wheel excepted.)

As stated in the article you linked to, the tribute is just a brief title card aired at 8:00 PM.

TV producer extraordinaire and activist Norman Lear, at 101. In addition to his astounding biography, he has on the order of 25 Archive hits and has presented clues, including a category about himself.

That new "Rockin'..." video is everything we could have asked for. 78-year-old Lee lip synching to her 13-year-old self; conscripted family members begrudgingly dancing for two seconds each; a family dinner scene with a vibe straight out of an SNL parody ad; "just cover everything wit...

I have memories of her obituaries years ago. My only explanations are that, at the time I confused Peggy Lee for Brenda Lee, or I did some multiverse skipping.

Wait, Brenda Lee's still alive??

I got "cloche" only because of Jennings's miss 19 years ago.

(And also ThatDarnCat's Shakespearean rendition of the loss game.)

I paid a visit on Black Friday to the last surviving member of the FJ group Tell more! He visited Gerald Ford’s grave. Since Ford’s death in December 2006 there are no surviving members of the Warren Commission. Ah. The lawyer in me would add the clarifying hyphen to call Ford a "last-survivin...

Tell more!

If I remember correctly from running through J!6 this morning, Heather Mills was the 6th clue. Thanks. Of course, there's the game J!6 and the mysterious real J!6, some of which we have been finding out from repeat categories of late. This was a repeat category (see #5683 --the contestants went 5/5...

Four possibilities for J!6 in BEATLE WIVES. Test yourself:

Maureen Cox
Olivia Arias
Heather Mills
Nancy Shevell

The writers picked the easiest ones and the contestants still only went 3/5. More Lach trash for me.

Worth pointing out that this is a first equals second plus third scenario

If you had told Heather she would end up winning the game during the interview segment where she sounded like she was trying to give herself a pep talk...

The "thy" was addressed to Ken, who showed goodness and mercy in not giving Nick any trouble. Oy vey!

Another day, another clue with multiple correct responses to choose from. Not sure it's worth the space in the weekly poll, but I wonder what boardies' Jefferson/Adams/both breakdown was. We got to see the real J!6 from the FAREWELL TO THE CHIEF category, as it previously ran in #4490 19 years ago ...

Although not all of those clues marry Wiltshire to today's correct response.

Actress Frances Sternhagen, at 93. Zero Archive hits, but she was Cliff Clavin's mom.

I also thought of London Bridge but figured it would have been in governmental hands from the get-go. Also thought of the Tower of London, the Stone of Scone, the crown jewels, and the Blarney stone, but none of those seemed to fit. Then I focused on the word "disarray", the solution snapp...

I wasn't going to miss this Final because I know Smiley from the truly awful, home-state-boosting history-of-computing book she wrote.
