Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The legal proceedings against Tom were stalled until a prosecuting attorney could be found. What activity of the prosecutor was interrupted?

Answer: Paintballing

The man from the district attorney's office showed up in full paintballing attire to handle the case against Tom.

2. What was the specialty of the NBS lawyer brought in by Jack to handle the charges against Tom?

Answer: Copyright

After Jack informed Tom of the lawyer's area of expertise, Tom sighed and lamented, "Now they tell me."

3. What was the name of the blonde British comedy writer?

Answer: Lucy

Lucy attempted to help the new writer Darius understand how to address different members of the cast and crew. Confused on whom to address as "sir", Darius inquired, "Is this a 'white people' thing or what?" Lucy replied, "I'm not white Darius, I'm English."

4. By what well-known lawyer's name did Judge Bebe address the NBS attorney?

Answer: Ben Matlock

When attorney David Lagenfeld advised the judge that he had been taping the entire proceedings, Bebe replied, "Good for you, Matlock."
The judge was referencing the popular Andy Griffith television series which ran from 1986 to 1995.

5. Whose name appeared on the "Studio 60" marquee as the show's guest host?

Answer: Jessica Simpson

While the name of the beautiful girl from Abilene, Texas appeared on the neon marquee, she did not actually appear in the episode.

Answer: Time Warner

The businessman did not speak English and relied on his teenage daughter, Kim's translations. Kim was a big fan of Tom's and wanted to meet him before she and her father left the country. Jack, who was bending over backwards to please his Asian guests, flew them to Pahrump in the corporate jet.

After Jack finished ranting and raving, Kim apoligized and admitted that she had made a mistake in translating and that her father said that Jordan's ex-husband had brought disgrace on her.

7. Who told Jordan to put an end to her bad publicity?

Answer: Wilson White

Jordan's publicity-hungry ex-husband was writing a 'tell-all' book about their marriage and leaking false bits and pieces to the press about their sex life and the fact that Jordan does not like children. White, the chairman of NBS's parent company was not concerned with whether the stories were true or not, he just wanted them stopped.

8. On what subject did Harriet and Matt have a big argument?

Answer: Gay marriage

Harriet had previously told a reporter that the Bible said that homosexuality was a sin. She further added that the Bible also said, "Judge not lest ye be judged", however, the reporter deliberately omitted this from the article to make Harriet appear anti-gay.

9. A poster of which Hollywood icon adorned Matt's office wall?

Answer: Humphrey Bogart

Not known at all for his comedic talents, tough guy actor Bogart died in 1957, some dozen years before actor Matthew Perry was born.

10. What factor caused Judge Bebe to dismiss all charges against Tom?

Answer: Tom's brother

When the prosecuting attorney noticed Tom's wrist band, he discovered that the reason Tom was speeding was that he had visited his younger brother at nearby Nellis Air Force Base. Tom's brother was being deployed to Afghanistan for the third time as a member of the 820th REDHORSE squadron, which was the Air Force equivalent of the Army Corps of Engineers.

The judge acknowledged Tom's brother's dangerous assignment and understood why Tom didn't want his brother to spend his last day bailing him out of jail. All charges against Tom were dropped with the admonition to the "Studio 60" executives that they had to stop thinking that everyone between Fifth Avenue and Hollywood Blvd. was out of television's "Hee Haw".
