Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the guest host?

Answer: Howie Mandell

In an ironic casting move, Mandell, the never-shake-hands germophobe host of "Deal or No Deal" was cast in an episode dealing with a decimating virus. A spoof of the 'no-brainer' game show was one of the "Studio 60" sketches.

2. Harriet struggled with remembering a simple joke. Who or what was the subject of the joke?

Answer: A Jewish mother

For some unexplained reason the 'princess' of late night sketch comedy could not properly deliver the lines to a joke. The actual joke was: "A Jewish guy calls his mother and says; mom, how are you? And the mother says; terrible, I haven't eaten in 38 days. And he says; why haven't you eaten in 38 days? And the mother says; I didn't want my mouth full in case you should call."

3. To which magazine did Jordan give an interview that went badly?

Answer: Time

In an attempt to improve Jordan's public image, Jack insisted that she give an interview to "Newsweek". Jordan insisted on "Time", however, she vented her frustration by insulting the reporter causing him to write another unfavorable article. Jordan blamed her conduct on a hormonal problem.

4. As the "Studio 60" cast and crew made final preparations for the show, many were following a breaking news story. What was the subject matter of the televised coverage?

5. A man named Andy was hired to help Lucy and Darius write comedy sketches. Why had Andy been out of work?

Answer: Death of his family

The deadpanned Andy, played by "Kids in the Hall" actor Mark McKinney, was a former employee of "Studio 60" hired to assist the show's depleted writing staff. McKinney is also a story editor for the series.

6. What was the subject matter of the sketch written by Lucy and Darius?

Answer: Armed robbery

7. To which Hollywood celebrity was Jordan likened?

Answer: Paris Hilton

Because of the negative press generated by her ex-husband, Jordan was under a lot of pressure from her superiors. When Jordan told Jack that she was a "network executive, not Paris Hilton", his reply was, "You got made into Paris Hilton. The press decided they needed a new one and you got casted."

Answer: Corinne Bailey Rae

Corinne, who is from Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, sang "Like a Star" and "Trouble Sleeping".

9. What big news did Jordan reveal?

10. What disgusting act became the basis of a last-minute replacement sketch?

Answer: Spitting

Faced with a two-minute gap caused by the cancellation of another sketch, Matt decided to fill the time with cast members spitting water on Harriet.
