| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Nov 09 02:47PM -0600 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-06-08, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of Five Guys Named Moe, and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 7, Round 9 - Miscellaneous - Late-Night Second Bananas Sure, we all know about late-night TV stars like Carson, Letterman, and Fallon, but how much do we know about their second bananas: announcers and bandleaders? 10 questions to honor those whose primary job is to laugh at their bosses' unfunny jokes, night after excruciating night. 1. The original announcer for "Tonight starring Jack Paar" was fired after only a few weeks for not showing enough "spontaneous enthusiasm". Name his replacement, who stayed with Paar to the end, later gaining fame in his own right as co-host of "Today" (1962-71) and "20/20" (1978-99). 2. This jazz trumpet player, known for his outrageous outfits, was bandleader of the "Tonight Show" NBC Orchestra and supported his boss, Johnny Carson, for 30 years. He created the wildly popular "Stump the Band" segment. Name him. 3. When Johnny Carson took over as the "Tonight Show" host, he brought along the announcer from his game show "Who Do You Trust?" In total, their partnership lasted over 35 years. Name this consummate second banana, nicknamed "The Human Laugh Track", who created the iconic "Heeeeere's Johnny!" introduction. 4. This guitarist took over as bandleader from Branford Marsalis, who left "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" unhappy with his role as "ass kisser". From 1995 to 2010, he was often the butt of jokes by Leno about his dating life, bald head, and rigid pescatarian diet. Name him. 5. This talented Thunder Bay native was the musical director, bandleader, and foil for David Letterman on his NBC and CBS late-night shows. He got to sit in the host's chair when his boss was off during bypass surgery and for the birth of his son. Name this comedian, who is also known for his small but pivotal role as Artie Fufkin in "This is Spinal Tap!" 6. This drummer, along with his band the Roots, has provided music for Jimmy Fallon on both his current stint on the "Tonight Show" and his previous "Late Night" show. He is also a sought-after producer, and recently published a memoir "Mo Meta Blues". Name him. 7. Rock fans know him as the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, but night owls also know him as bandleader on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien". Name him. 8. Geoff Peterson was the sidekick on "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson". What was unusual about him? Be sufficiently specific. 9. This sidekick actually started out as the parking-lot security guard at the Hollywood Blvd. studios where "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is taped. He now regularly appears on skits and acts as sidekick for Kimmel. Name this TV personality -- atleast his first name. 10. Seth Meyers has employed fellow SNL cast member and co-creator/writer of "Portlandia" as the band leader of 8G on his "Late Night" show. Name him. * Game 7, Round 10 - Challenge Round Okay, that's 8 servings of fruit -- so now it's time for your veggies! Your categories are: Mushroom Clouds, Veggie Book Titles, Karats, Korn, Vegetarian Cuisine, and Brussels. A. Mushroom Clouds The Manhattan Project was active from 1942 until 1946. It was a joint venture between the US, UK, and Canada which produced the first atomic bombs during World War II. A1. In addition to producing a gun-type fission weapon using uranium, the project also created weapons using plutonium. The latter were developed in the project's principal research lab. Name either the town or the US state where the lab was located. A2. As part of Operation Crossroads, tests were conducted on a coral reef in the Marshall Islands starting in July 1946. Name the atoll where the tests happened. B. Veggie Book Titles B1. This 1987 novel by Fannie Flagg was controversial in its time for its portrayal of the lesbian love story of Imogene "Idgie" Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison. Name the novel. B2. Name the 1973 nonfiction book, written by Joseph Wambaugh, which tells the story of the kidnapping of two plainclothes LAPD officers and the subsequent murder of one of them. C. Karats This category is all about a girl's best friend (well, according to Marilyn Monroe, at least). C1. Diamonds are the hardest known natural material, rating a 10 on the scale which measures such things. What is the name of the scale? C2. Which element is the most common impurity found in diamonds? It is responsible for the colors yellow and brown. D. Korn We are remedying the dearth of nu (or alternative) metal music in the quiz league by this round on the band Korn. D1. Who is the lead singer of Korn, who also is known for his bagpipe-playing skills? D2. Released in February 1999, the video for this song contained both animation and live performances and won awards at both the MTV Video Awards and the Grammy. Name this song, which is said to be the most popular Korn song. We're not sure about that, but it was the 9th-most-pirated song on the Internet in July of 1999. E. Vegetarian Cuisine E1. What is the main ingredient of the Punjabi dish called chana masala? E2. This Greek dish is made with phyllo pastry wrapped around spinach, feta cheese, onions, and eggs. Name it. F. Brussels The city, not the sprout. F1. Brussels is the home to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Within a year, what year was NATO formed? F2. Brussels is also considered the de facto capital of the European Union, or one of them. The Maastricht Treaty created the European Union and led to the creation of a common currency, the euro. Within 2 years, in what year was that treaty signed? -- Mark Brader | Plan B is: Toronto | "Try Plan A again; if this fails, try Plan B". msb@vex.net | --Michael Wares My text in this article is in the public domain. |
