Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which British actor, famous for co-writing "Fawlty Towers", a UK show set in a fictional hotel, also appeared in films such as "A Fish called Wanda" and "Fierce Creatures"?

Answer: John Cleese

John Cleese is also famous for his work on the sketch show "Monty Python's Flying Circus" which resulted in three very amusing films including "Life of Brian". He has also had several movie roles including Q in the James Bond film "Die Another Day", the hilarious character of Donald Sinclair in the madcap film "Rat Race" and Mr Stimpson in the 1986 British comedy "Clockwise".

Question by player Doenutty

2. Which of the following TV shows does not fit in because it is a cartoon?

Answer: Family Guy

While "Family Guy" is a cartoon, it is far from being appropriate for kids. It has very adult scenes, although "Breaking Bad" and "Scrubs" do so too. "Game of Thrones" is one of the most graphic and disturbing television shows to air. It is, however, a spectacular story with writing depth and brilliant character evolution.

3. Sad news for lovers of justice broke in March 2020. Which longtime tv judge announced their retirement from the daytime television court show they had hosted for 25 years?

Answer: Judge Judy

Yes, after 25 years as queen of tv court, Judge Judith Sheindlin, 77, announced she would be retiring her show. But the good news is she is developing a follow-up program where she will continue to dispense justice in the way only she can. It is to be seen however whether her new program will contain the fireworks she has brought to viewers since 1996. Judge Judy is a no-nonsense judge known for her bombastic style and impatience with deceitful parties. One of her funniest quotes to a claimant was, "I'm older, I'm smarter - If you live to be 120 you will not be as smart as I am in one finger!"
