I thought Jake was a little too loose. Good back and forth.
I think Yungsheng got away with one with the “thirds” category, as “90210” was an abbreviated reference to “Beverly Hills 90210”, but, “90210” was a different show. Then again, I know Luke Perry was in both shows, but, I don’t recall the other person.
I got FJ. I don’t know why. I’ve been to DC 3 times, and don’t specifically recall seeing either Ford’s Theatre, or the Watergate building.
Although our family visited Ford’s Theater 60 years ago, the Watergate Hotel was all I could come up with.
Oh Jake, your grandparents who probably listened to 78 rpm recordings are spinning in their graves tonight. And even this opera know-nothing knew Mimi was from “La Boheme”, and later “Rent.” My parents had several 78s that are long gone now. I pulled one out back in high school days, and that’s when I learned Sinatra recorded “Try a Little Tenderness” long before Otis Redding did.
A little surprised no one knew the eyeless surgery device, the Portland mortar, or the prison guard/tool. The 2 guys were pretty darn good, though.
Last time Diana Ross’s name came up as an answer, the contestant thought she was 95, tonight Jake thought she was a mere 90 lol.
I took wild guesses on FJ before, but honestly, “the grassy knoll”? I mean, that was located in Dallas, Texas.. Personally, I thought that it might have been the Watergate Building. I don’t think that was a bad guess even though it turned out to be wrong.
Happy to see Yungsheng winning again. Keep it going Yungsheng!
