Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Hall of Fame ice hockey star Bobby Orr played the majority of his career with which NHL franchise?

Answer: Boston Bruins

Orr played ten seasons with the Bruins and parts of two others with Chicago. He was forced into an early retirement due to a succession of knee injuries. Along with Wayne Gretzky, Orr is regarded as the best player ever to play the game.

2. On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States. Obama attended law school at what American university?

Answer: Harvard

Obama graduated in 1991 after becoming the first African American elected president of the Harvard Law Review. His Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science is from Columbia.

3. Bill O'Reilly is an American television commentator most famous for hosting "The O'Reilly Factor" on Fox News Channel. What entertainment news program did O'Reilly host from 1989 to 1995?

Answer: Inside Edition

Generally considered a conservative, O'Reilly's views often depart from a purely right wing viewpoint. Many of his statements are often made to provoke controversy rather expounding a particular political philosophy.

Answer: Chicago Cubs

Ken Burns' documentary on baseball brought Buck O'Neil to the limelight. O'Neil was also a very successful scout being credited with signing Hall of Famer Lou Brock to his first contract. The "Curse of the Billy Goat" can be traced to a tavern owner asked to leave a 1945 World Series game due to the behavior of his pet goat. The tavern owner allegedly put a curse on the Cubs.

5. American singer and guitarist Buck Owens had 21 number one hits and is well remembered as hosting the television show "Hee Haw". What was the name of Buck Owens' band?

Answer: the Buckaroos

The 1963 song "Act Naturally" became the Buckaroos' first number one song and became Buck Owens' signature song. He re-recorded the song with former Beatle Ringo Starr in 1988. Owens died of a heart attack in 2006.

Answer: Cowboy

Also known as "Ace" and "Boxing Bob" during his career, "Cowboy" Bob Orton was his primary persona. His son Randy has crafted a successful professional wrestling career of his own with Cowboy Bob playing a part in some of his storylines.

Answer: Politically Incorrect

Olson, a vocal critic of the Clinton presidency, supplied a right wing perspective to Maher's show. Ironically, "Politically Incorrect" was canceled in 2002 mainly due to comments made on the show about the attacks on 9/11.

8. British recording artist Billy Ocean had a number of pop hits in the 1970's and 80's. Ocean won the 1985 Grammy Award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for which song?

Answer: Caribbean Queen

The song became a number one hit in the US on both the soul and Hot 100 charts. Different versions of the song were released around the world; namely "European Queen" and "African Queen".

9. Canadian figure skater Brian Orser won the 1987 World Championship. Orser finished second in both the 1984 and 1988 Olympics. Which two skaters defeated Orser at these two Olympics?

Answer: Scott Hamilton & Brian Boitano

Orser's main weapon was the "Triple Axel" jump, employing it long before it became commonplace. The compulsory figures (since dropped from competition) always kept Orser from winning more championships than he did. He has since become a very successful coach.

Answer: McDonald's

Oldfield designed clothes for Princess Diana for ten years. He received the Order of the British Empire for his service to the British fashion industry. His redesign of the McDonald's uniform was an attempt to add chic to their new look.
