Everyone should watch Sunday Best on Netflix and know who Ed Sullivan was! Its 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and is an important documentary.
Surely you are related to Ed’s longtime producer, Robert Precht. Mom and I attended the show once, around 1966 or 1967. Richard Pryor, Gary Lewis and the Playboys and I forget who else. I have a DVD from PBS of musical highlights from the Ed Sullivan archives. He was actually a gossip columnist for the NY Daily News as well as a TV host. His chance meeting with the Beatles at a European airport led to their appearances on the show.
When I saw the clue this morning, I overlooked the apple. It appears that others overlooked London.
I can sort of see why someone might think St. Patrick was buried in London. The reason I wrote “upon belief” for him is because when I was in Catholic high school, there were all these conflicting stories about him so they decided he was a legend for a while. Then they decided he was real.
But George Washington? Our first president who fought the British to gain our independence? Why in the world would he be buried in London?
Poorly-played game IMO. The number of wrong responses was dizzying. Game began on a sour note when no one knew the 1781 document and Quentin bombed on the one of the easiest DDs in show history. Aahil was his own worst enemy, and he should have wagered $3801 on FJ, which eventually would have landed him the 2nd place prize instead of the 3rd. Last 2 DDs and Final too tough for moi.
I beat them on a few. The Apple records album (I have it); the Apple TV show (never seen it); the Sunday night variety show host; and the portrayer of Drs. Ehrlich and Linkletter. And on both of those last 2, their first names were in the category.
It was another exciting game, and the FJ was a tough one. Well, I didn’t have a clue, but I went with George Washington (I was thinking of the apple tree). Yes, I was surely familiar with John Milton, and especially his work ‘Paradise Lost’.
Didn’t he allegedly cut down a cherry tree? I think that may be an urban legend. I wavered between St Patrick and Newton and struck out on both.
