Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. He was the Weekend Update anchor on "SNL" before he got his own show on Comedy Central. The show's title begins with "Tough Crowd".

Answer: Colin Quinn

The show's complete title is "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn". The Brooklyn Irishman started with "SNL" in 1995 and became WU anchor in 1998.

2. He has appeared in movies and a goodly number of guest shots on TV. He has the same name as a well-known figure of the 1960s and 70s. Who is he?

Answer: George Wallace

This African-American comedian got a lot of laughs early in his career because he had the same name as the one-time segregationist governor of Alabama, who is featured in the film clip in "Forrest Gump" blocking the door at the U. of Alabama when black students tried to register. Comedian George Wallace was best man at Jerry Seinfeld's wedding.

3. This comic made albums entitled "Child of the Fifties", "Mind over Matter", and "Let's Not Make Love".

Answer: Robert Klein

He saw life as a Jewish boy in the Bronx growing up in the forties and fifties. He played Landau in Jason Alexander's mercifully short-lived attempt at his own sitcom, "Bob Patterson".

4. This very wealthy sitcom star did the voice of woolly mammoth Manfred in the movie "Ice Age". Who is he?

Answer: Ray Romano

Ray had a nice Italian childhood as a citizen of Queens, NYC. His brother is actually a sergeant with the NYPD. Romano is said to be earning at least $19,000,000 a year for "Everybody Loves Raymond".

5. "Bring the Pain" and "Roll with the New" were two HBO specials for this stand-up/movie actor. Who is he?

Answer: Chris Rock

Rock was born in South Carolina and raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, a ghetto area of Brooklyn, N.Y. He turns his merciless wit on black people just as much as he does on the world at large.

6. This one-time writer for sitcoms had a series on Showtime and Fox, then later had another series on HBO. Who is he?

Answer: Garry Shandling

He had two hits: "It's Garry Shandling's Show", which started on Showtime and was later shown on Fox, and "The Larry Sanders Show". He's a nice Jewish boy from Chicago.

7. This long-time "SNL" star was Weekend Update anchor and appeared in hilarious sketches as one of two absurd Austrian bodybuilders/ personal trainers. His name?

Answer: Kevin Nealon

Hans and Franz always wanted to "pump you up", especially if you were a "girly man". They were supposedly cousins of muscle god Arnold Schwarzenegger. Kevin is 6'4'', but he probably wasn't when he was a nice Irish boy in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

8. Starting in 1992, this comedian headlined a long-running hit TV show and did pretty darn well with it. Who is he?

Answer: Jay Leno

Leno started hosting "The Tonight Show" when Johnny Carson retired in 1992. Leno's Italian childhood took place in New Rochelle, NY. He's been married to Mavis for many years, and he loves classic cars and motorcycles.

9. He made TV history when he became one of the two stars on a series about espionage, and he then had one l-o-n-g career in comedy. What is his name?

Answer: Bill Cosby

Bill became the first black actor to get a major role in a TV series when he co-starred with Robert Culp in "I Spy" (1965). His career took off after that, with movies, albums, and several hit TV series, especially "The Cosby Show", a phenomenon of the 1980s.

As a boy in Philadelphia, PA, he often played in Wissahickon Park. Mickeygreeneyes sometimes played there in the same era, but the two never met. Cosby sez, "Don't worry about senility. When it hits you, you won't know it."

10. This former sitcom star made four appearances as Frankie on "Benson", and he was one of the world's most eligible bachelors until he finally married in 1999 at age 45. And he is . . .?

Answer: Jerry Seinfeld

Jerry's Jewish childhood began in Brooklyn, but most of it took place in Massapequa, Long Island. His parents' names are Kalman and Betty, not Morty and Helen. He received the paltry sum of $225 million in the sale of "Seinfeld" to syndication. All these stars appear in the film, but only Jerry performs. The others usually sit and talk with Jerry.
