Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Since coming to America, this actor spent his nights in Harlem, Beverly Hills and Brooklyn. This guy is delirious! Distinguished and holy? I think not! Maybe a little nutty. Come on, he talks to animals for goodness sake! On the brighter side, he had a 4-year run on "SNL", in fact, in 1982, he was the only cast member to host the show while still a regular. Who is he?

Eddie was a regular cast member on "SNL" from 1980-1984. Nick Nolte was scheduled to host the show on December 11, 1982, but cancelled so Eddie filled in and became the only cast member to host while still a regular.

2. This guy was once a ninja in Beverly Hills. I bet he's one lethal weapon! Although I wonder if his past crack addiction has anything to do with him using his voice so animated characters could talk? Truth be told, he's a down to earth kind of guy. Guess that means he will never be head of state huh? Oh well, do you know this talented actor?

3. This guy literally changed his name in honor of another comedian. Did you know he is the first African American to receive two Oscar nominations in the same year for two different movies? Heck, he should be in the player's club for receiving a star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame in 2007! He's such a stand-up guy! I'd say he's a girl's dream come true! He's got a great sense of humor, and boy, can he sing! Do you know who I am talking about?

Answer: Jamie Foxx

4. With this young man, it's a thin line between love and hate. He's got numerous arrests under his belt. I guess he felt he had nothing to lose and wanted to find out what was the worst that could happen. I'm surprised they didn't call national security on him and give him life! However, after doing the right thing, he was eventually welcomed home. Who is this bad boy?

5. This young man is the made in America, clean-cut kind of guy any mother would want her daughter to date. (Sorry girls, I think he got hitched to a girl from Jersey, no, wait, that girl is from Baltimore.) He looks so dapper when he's dressed in black! He's known as a bad boy, but I'm not sure why. I mean, it's not like he's the enemy of the state. His favorite holiday is Independence Day! Sheesh! Who is this legend?

6. This actor can truly be described as 'the man'. Being one of the original members of the player's club, he takes pride in being able to show you how to be a player and make booty calls, but only on Fridays.

Me and my friend Irene hang out with him at his momma's house when he's not hanging out at the barbershop.

8. I don't think it'll take an hour to answer this question, but don't rush through it either. I'll just say this guy knows that money talks and makes it a habit to carry a few dead presidents in his wallet. Every Friday you'll find him hanging with Jackie Brown. Who is the actor?

9. Some say this guy was crazy just because he didn't know which way was up! I personally think he was just toying with them. He was a blue collar worker and earned his money working at the car wash and was a wiz at making your car look like greased lightning! When it came to the women, he was definitely a busy body. Some called it loving, but a few of the ladies sung the blues. All I can say is ___ ___, there will never be another you! What name fills in the blanks?

10. When you trespass in this man's hood, you're walking on dangerous ground. Lately though, he hasn't been as much of a gangster as he used to be. He still hangs out at the barbershop on Fridays, though it's been called 'the player's club'. It seems since he's gotten a higher education, he thinks he's got the hook up. Maybe he does. Who am I to say otherwise? Geez, this was a long quiz to make. Are we done yet? We will be after you answer this last question. Do you know the actor I am referring to in this question?
