John: Preparing for bed, are you?

Mo: No, I'm actually glad you got me. I was just on the way out.

John feeds Mo the question.

Mo: You know, I'm a fan of all of these schools. I love UNC for their campus; it's absolutely beautiful. LSU--I mean, who doesn't love Louisiana? And, you know, BYU has the country's best program in ballroom dancing. Isn't that interesting? BYU--they're wonderful ballroom dancing--dancers. And, you know, I know something about that! But it's going to be UCLA, because that's in Westwood. I mean, it has to be! It would be a cruel coincidence if it weren't.

$500 * Metamorphosis
Which of these movies is about a human being who slowly turns into a giant insect?

A: The Blob B: The Fly
C: The Mummy D: The Maltese Cicada

Answer

B: The Fly ( 5 )

Only in the remake. In the original the transformation was instantaneous.

So Jennifer is the first carryover contestant of the week (and probably the last, since they seldom have contestants carry over from a guest host.

Nihil obstat®.

Not unless she's a lawyer for the entertainment industry.

And since you forget to ask: yes, Tarrytown is Where Else territory. It's in the Hudson Valley just downriver from Sleepy Hollow. (Also across the river from South Nyack!)

Us classic "Dark Shadows" fans recall that Tarrytown is where they filmed the two DS movies, ca. 1970, at Lyndhurst. The TV version of "the old house" exterior was also in Tarrytown, though that house burned down in the late 1960s, IIRC.
