There was a guy sitting in the relationship seat. We never found out who he was. We never found out what Jay was studying in grad school, either.

Cedric always has times for jokes, though.

It might be very loosely coincidental with Pixar having been bought out by Disney, decades later, but it wasn't convenient. And who the heck knows the names or nicknames of the Disneyland designers? WWOQ.

You can eliminate B & D, because Warner Brothers and Hanna-Barbera cartoons belong to Time Warner.

Is this really something we should know? "I have a dream" gets widely quoted every year around MLK Day, but if there's a detailed discussion of the origin of the phrase, that part doesn't get on the news. I think this is another obscure detail that would have been easy work for a Google PAF, but with the current game rules it's another WWOQ.

Anyone who has watched Disney's film on how the park was designed and built.

I think that this tidbit was mentioned in many of the media stories last year about the 50th anniversary of the speech. King had used the phrase "I have a dream" in speeches in several cities, most notably Detroit before the March on Washington. It actually was not included in the Wash DC speech, but Mahalia Jackson exclaimed on the dais during his speech, "Tell them about your dream, Martin" (or words to that effect), so King extemporized that portion of the speech.

Jay was in my taping group. I'm sorry I didn't get to see his episode, thanks, snowstorm! Unfortunately that day was such a rollercoaster I don't remember what he's majoring in either...maybe education?
