Another example of why I think Ken is the best host – I don’t know if he had it on his notes, but, in the TS about a platonic female, he said the film mentioned by two, which were wrong, was from 1940. Whether extemporaneous or not, it sounded like it, and didn’t sound forced.
As for FJ, I saw Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in my mind, but, I said “Frankie and Johnny”! I knew it wasn’t right, but, I don’t have Netflix, and I have never seen “Grace and Frankie”.
Jason, Imo Ken is a walking encyclopedia. Don’t forget he has written numerous trivia books (I think the publications are in the double digits), has been on several trivia shows such as Masterminds, the Chase, etc., and has been nominated for an Emmy as well as a Grammy in the spoken word category. For the latter award nomination, he played a huge role in the Alex Trebek audio book when Alex was terminally ill.
I’m not aware of too many people who have achieved what Ken has at such a young age.
I think, no, I am sure, my favorite moment was when he pointed at the picture and said, “As Dean Martin would have said, “that’s a moray!” “
