Question by player poshprice

Answer: Clowns

Clowns are generally outlandish caricatures, characterized by bright colours, garish make up and oversized clothes. Emmett Kelly and Charlie Cairoli were probably two of the best known clowns worldwide. Kansas born Kelly was the creator of the hobo clown "Weary Willie", based on the tramps of the 1930s and '40s depression era. Cairoli was an Italian born British clown, whose act was heavily Charlie Chaplinesque.

He featured frequently on British television and in movies. Both Kelly and Cairoli passed away in 1979 and 1980 respectively. Pennywise is the evil dancing clown in Stephen King's classic horror novel "It" from 1986, whilst "Cathy's Clown" is the title of a number one hit of the 1960s for the American close-harmony duo The Everly Brothers.

Question by player nickdrew55

Answer: Superman

Superman, who has been around since 1939, has never worn a mask as a regular part of his costume. Somehow, when he appears as his alter ego, Clark Kent, donning a pair of glasses manages to conceal his identity. Even as a small child of four or five, I found this aspect of his character to be quite unbelievable!

Neuman is the fictitious mascot and cover boy of MAD magazine, the longtime American humor magazine that announced in 2019 that they plan to abandon newsstands and no longer publish new material.

Question by player srini701

Answer: Just a Minute

"Just a Minute" was first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1967. The idea came from Ian Messiter, who remembered a history teacher calling him to order for daydreaming in class, and asking him to repeat what had just been said without hesitation or repetition.

The show's contestants try to talk for sixty seconds about a subject given to them by the chairman; they must do this without hesitation, or repetition, or deviating from the subject. Nicholas Parsons was originally going to be one of the contestants, but he reluctantly stepped in as chairman because Jimmy Edwards wasn't available for the recording sessions.

However he remained in the role of host for over fifty years, only retiring in 2019, which was the year before he died at the age of 96.
