Weakest Link R6-7 Quiz (9/29/2020)

Here are the clues from Round 6 of “The Weakest Link” (9/29/2020) with host Jane Lynch. We are down to 3 players now.

This round is worth a potential $500,000. The 3 players that are left would have to answer 8 questions in a row to get there. Hopefully, they’ll be able to get higher than in any previous round. Every time someone gives a wrong answer, the questions start at $2,500. They also have the option to hit the button and say BANK. Whatever money has been earned at that point would be safe but they start at $2,500 again. They have banked $47,500 so far and it’s their last chance to beef that up.

$2500 (Jay) Originally founded in 1919, what company delivers packages in an iconic brown truck?
