Question 1 of 10
1. Bailey hates going to family reunions; she doesn't like her family, and they all have names that are the same as famous people (and poor Bailey does not). When Bailey first arrived to the reunion, she saw her overly proud sister, who strutted along like it was her party. Her name is also the same as that of an actress; the one who played Emma Frost in "X-Men: First Class".

What is the first name of this actress, as well as Bailey's sister?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. As Bailey moves through the family crowd, she spots her uncle in the distance. She doesn't like talking to him; he think's he is so cool wearing his black suit and sunglasses... But we're inside a building!

Sporting dark sunglasses is useful when Agent K erases memories of alien encounters, but Bailey thinks it's silly when her uncle wears them to try to act like the actor with the same name as him. What is the first name of the actor who played Agent K in the "Men in Black" series, which happens to be Bailey's uncle's name as well?
Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Bailey has a great uncle who works as an impersonator, which is convenient given his name is the same as the one he impersonates. Though it annoys Bailey when he calls her "Delilah", she does enjoy it when her great uncle sings "What's New, Pussycat".

"It's Not Unusual" for Bailey's relative to brag about his impersonating skills, but since "She's a Lady", Bailey gives him a "Kiss" on the cheek after he performs "Green, Green Grass of Home". What is the first name of the singer that Bailey's great uncle impersonates?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Since Bailey's cousin shares the same name as one of the members of the Monkees, it wasn't uncommon for the music to play during family reunions. Bailey wasn't overly fond of her cousin always bragging about being a famous Monkee - which of course he wasn't - he simply shared the name!

Bailey's cousin shared the first name of which of the Monkees, who sadly died in 2012 due to a severe heart attack?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Bailey never liked talking to her uncle's brother-in-law because he was always picking his nose. They call him "The Possum" because he shares the same name as a famous singer who also was known to pick his nose.

The singer, known for hits such as "He Stopped Loving Her Today" and "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" has the same first name as Bailey's relative. What is the name?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Bailey's brother-in-law works at the local radio station, and his over-the-top radio personality had begun to find its way into his regular speech. For this reason, Bailey hated talking to him - his peppy attitude seemed to suck all the happiness right out of her.

His name is the same as a Welsh BBC Radio 2 presenter who also presents the television program "Songs of Praise"; he also sang a cover of "Walking in the Air". What is the first name of Bailey's relative as well as the famous radio presenter?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. After coming inside, after a family cricket match (which Bailey also hated, but that's another story), it was time for some music to calm everyone down. Bashful Bailey was asked to introduce her cousin on stage to sing for the family. Bailey always hated doing this; she was jealous that she didn't get to sing along with her.

Because her cousin shared the same name as the singer of "Come Away With Me" and "Don't Know Why", it only seemed fitting that she would sing those first. What is the first name of this famed singer, who coincidentally has the same name as Bailey's singing cousin?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. With beautiful music comes slow dancing. Bailey loves to dance, but when her cousin shows up, Bailey no longer enjoys herself. Her cousin always outshines her. Bailey isn't a bad dancer, but she never has quite the skill of her cousin. Strangely enough, her cousin shares the same name as someone who placed third in season two of "So You Think You Can Dance".

What is the first name of the dancer who went on to choreograph a Las Vegas show at the Venetian starring Wayne Brady?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Bailey doesn't hate her entire family, though. After her limelight is stolen by her cousin, she goes over to talk to her favorite family member; her grandfather. He is fun for Bailey to talk to, because what other 80-year-old man would say "totes magotes" (her grandfather began saying this after seeing a man on TV say it on a commercial)?

Which of these is the first name of an actor who voiced Mufasa and Darth Vader, who happens to share his name with Bailey's grandfather?
Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. After a long day, it is time for Bailey to go home, which she is quite happy about. She never likes going to her reunions, anyway. But she always likes the t-shirts she gets, which sported her family surname in big letters on the front, and all the names of the family on the back.

If you answered the first nine questions correctly, you may have noticed that each of the famous people share the same last name. Bailey's family share the same last name as well. Since this is the case, what surname do you expect to see on Bailey's t-shirt?

This wasn't the end, however. The Monkees were reunited, and again disbanded, several times throughout Jones' life. Tragically, however, in 2012, while tending to his horses, Davy Jones suffered a heart attack and passed away.

He was known as "The Possum" due to his nose and facial features; he also admitted in one interview that he loved to pick his nose.

It's convenient that Bailey's sister, January, married someone whose last name is also Jones, isn't it?
7. After coming inside, after a family cricket match (which Bailey also hated, but that's another story), it was time for some music to calm everyone down. Bashful Bailey was asked to introduce her cousin on stage to sing for the family. Bailey always hated doing this; she was jealous that she didn't get to sing along with her.

She began her singing career with the release of the widely successful album "Come Away With Me" in 2002. The album was a country-pop fusion with elements of jazz, and contained hits such as "Don't Know Why" and "Come Away With Me". My personal favorite song of hers is "Chasing Pirates" on the 2009 album "The Fall".

She also starred as Elizabeth in "My Blueberry Nights" in 2007.
8. With beautiful music comes slow dancing. Bailey loves to dance, but when her cousin shows up, Bailey no longer enjoys herself. Her cousin always outshines her. Bailey isn't a bad dancer, but she never has quite the skill of her cousin. Strangely enough, her cousin shares the same name as someone who placed third in season two of "So You Think You Can Dance".

She reached the top four of "So You Think You Can Dance", along with her partner (and eventual winner) Benji Schwimmer, without ever having entered the bottom three.
9. Bailey doesn't hate her entire family, though. After her limelight is stolen by her cousin, she goes over to talk to her favorite family member; her grandfather. He is fun for Bailey to talk to, because what other 80-year-old man would say "totes magotes" (her grandfather began saying this after seeing a man on TV say it on a commercial)? Which of these is the first name of an actor who voiced Mufasa and Darth Vader, who happens to share his name with Bailey's grandfather?

Answer: James

James Earl Jones, known by many as "one of the greatest actors in American History", is known for many wonderful roles, including his role as the voice of Darth Vader from the "Star Wars" trilogy (1977, 1980, and 1983). He also voiced Simba's father, Mufasa, in Disney's "The Lion King" (1994).

In 2013, he appeared in several commercials for Sprint alongside Malcolm McDowell, where both had conversations you'd expect to see as texts between teenage girls; "totes magotes", an awkward phrase meaning "totally", became quite a bit more popular after these commercials.
10. After a long day, it is time for Bailey to go home, which she is quite happy about. She never likes going to her reunions, anyway. But she always likes the t-shirts she gets, which sported her family surname in big letters on the front, and all the names of the family on the back. If you answered the first nine questions correctly, you may have noticed that each of the famous people share the same last name. Bailey's family share the same last name as well. Since this is the case, what surname do you expect to see on Bailey's t-shirt?
