1989? So we know he didn't go there to play football.

As soon as Margaret Cho said "ewww" upon seeing the question, I knew it was NOT a good sign. Then she proceded to give Lynn the wrong answer, which Lynn agreed with.

Please, TPTB, for next season avoid asking any comedians to be Experts (except Mo Rocca-he actually KNOWS stuff!)

Repeat after me, Margaret, "My job as an expert is to help with any question that the contestant needs help on. I'm not here to beg for softballs to make myself look good."

I can't wait for her time as an expert to be over.

Truthfully I don't consider Texas (or Kentucky, for that matter) to be "southern" states, so I can understand Margaret's reasoning (but I don't understand her "don't know much about white people" remark).

It's the only one that made sense. I wonder if that was her guess.

I noted "hand-cranked" and then read the answers top-down, left-to-right, so I was thinking photocopier (because of the old mimeograph machines for school copies) until I saw paper shredder and realized the pasta maker was probably spitting out ribbons of pasta. I would guess that's from where the 19% were coming.
