Answer: "...it will."

Entertainment Tonight is parodied multiple times in this episode, in a very clever manner. This quiz is dedicated with pride to the voice of Troy McClure, Lionel Hutz, and others: Phil Hartman. As many know, he was killed by his wife, who later took her own life, in his California home in May of 1998. Your memory will live forever. Thanks for playing.
