It's easy to see why they cast Terrill - he suffers from what I call a "surfeit of personality". And "Dennis" didn't last past the first contestant.

Terrill said that he had never heard of earthquakes hitting Alaska, so he ruled it out right away. Good thing he used his JTQ.

I'm not surprised that Terrill didn't know this - Ben Jealous doesn't get his name in the media as much as other African-American leaders.

Nihil obstat®.

I haven't heard of him, either. Is jealousy really synonymous with covetousness, though?

JTQ question 5

Cedric made a mistake which could easily have given away the answer to the NAACP question. When the choices came up, he read "Benjamin Jealous" as "Ben Jealous". If the contestant had been listening closely, he could have (accurately) concluded that Cedric was "correcting" the formal name to the name he knows him by.

I've seen four episodes this week, and so far Cedric isn't growing on me yet. Maybe it's because he's trying too hard to be funny.

I was glad they started with somebody from Michigan (I root for anybody from here on a game show).

Here's how I'd do with his stack.

1.easy. Queen Latifah is debuting her own talk show next week.

2. gotta be super nova.

3. no idea. JTQ.

4. Football players somtimes fumble the ball. Easy.

5. I knew this one. I think Hawaii has underwater earthquakes, but I remember reading about the big quake they had in Alaska in the 60's.

6. ATA

7. easy.

8. I have zero idea who the president of the NAACP is. I JTQ.
