Answer: True

Julia hosted "Saturday Night Live" on May 13, 2006. This made her the first former female cast member to return as host. Gilda Radner would have been the first but there was a writers' strike in 1987-1988.

The joy of the opening monologue included cast mates, Jerry Seinfeld and Jason Alexander where they talked about the "Seinfeld Curse". The "Seinfeld Curse" is a term used against actors who are typecast for playing the same character.

She added those award to her "Screen Actors Guild" Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Comedy Series for "Seinfeld".

Answer: False

Elaine was not the winner of "The Contest" airing in 1992. We thought George was the winner of "The Contest". We found out in the final episode in 1998 that George cheated so Jerry was determined to be the winner.

The funny thing about this episode was that no one really said what the contest was about. Of course, we knew Elaine was out of the contest because of "John-John" aka John F. Kennedy Jr.

Answer: A Bug's Life

Julia played Princess Atta in "A Bug's Life" (1998). This movie was about a misfit ant played by Dave Foley who wanted to save his colony from the grasshoppers. The head grasshopper, Hopper was played by Kevin Spacey.

Julia was not in "Toy Story" (1995), "The Incredibles" (2004) or "Finding Nemo" (2003).

Answer: Watching Ellie

Julia produced three episodes of "Watching Ellie" in 2003. This show was on for sixteen episodes before it was cancelled. The show was created for Julia by her husband Brad Hall. The show was about the life of cabaret singer Ellie Riggs. The first season was done in real-time. There was a clock in the corner of the screen that displayed the time used within the 22 minutes of the episode. This did not last long. After being put on hiatus, the show came back looking like a traditional sitcom however, the show did not last very long.
