Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which "Saturday Night Live" alumnus plays the main character, Detective Jake Peralta?

Answer: Andy Samberg

While a gifted policeman, Jake's behavior is more inclined to middle school pranks and jokes.

2. Jake Peralta's immediate superior is Sergeant Terry Jeffords. Other than his family, of what is Sergeant Jeffords most proud?

Answer: His body

Jeffords is portrayed by former NFL player Terry Crews, who was an All-Conference defensive end at Western Michigan University. Needless to say, his police character is cut and musclebound.

3. Detective Amy Santiago is Jake Peralta's partner and the frequent target of his practical jokes and double-entendres. What is one of their on-going bets?

Answer: Who will get the most felony arrests

The lovely Melissa Fumero portrays the over-achieving Detective Santiago. Melissa's acting career has included soap operas and television series guest appearances.

4. In the season one opening credits, what is the character Detective Rosa Diaz doing?

Answer: Banging her computer screen

Looking more like a leather-clad biker than a NYPD detective, actress Stephanie Beatriz portrays the cold-as-ice Rosa Diaz. Stephanie has also guest-starred on "Modern Family" and "The Closer".

5. Despite his clumsiness and being a bit nerdy, Detective Charles Boyle is a good cop. Outside of police work, what is one of Boyle's area of expertise?

Answer: Pizza

Detective Boyle, convincingly played by actor Joe Lo Truglio, is the self-professed authority on the best pizza in Brooklyn. Coincidently, Lo Truglio appeared as Officer Bobby Bleeker in the short-lived series "Backwash".

6. The series begins with a straight-laced Captain Ray Holt taking over command from a very lax predecessor. What interesting fact about Captain Holt is revealed in the first episode?

Answer: He is gay

An accomplished veteran television actor, Andre Braugher portrays the openly gay police Captain Ray Holt. He won the 2006 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a miniseries for his work in "Thief".

Answer: Secretary

Stand-up comedian Chelsea Peretti portrays the quirky Gina, who, despite a lofty sense of self-importance is quickly advised by the new Captain of her clerical job description.

8. What is the name of one of two relatively worthless police squad members who is bald and the butt of endless insults from Jake?

Answer: Hitchcock

The bumbling detective is played by Dirk Blocker. His father Dan played the role of Hoss on "Bonanza", which topped the television ratings during the mid 1960s.

9. What is the name of another grossly underachieving policeman with crew cut hair and minimal accomplishments?

Answer: Scully

Character actor Joel McKinnon Miller portrays the uninspiring Detective Scully. If Miller looks familiar, it is because he has almost 100 television and movie credits over the last 25 years.

10. Detective Boyle befriends a woman whom he believes to be way out of his league. Which actress from a late 1970s comedy series guest-stars as Vivian, Boyle's romantic interest?
