When he first started telling this story, I thought that TPTB missed a perfect opportunity for an on-screen proposal. Then Ryan mentioned that his finance did the proposing, so he (who wasn't in the relationship seat) probably didn't have the producer's phone number to arrange it.

The finance might also have thought that Ryan didn't need that distraction in the middle of playing a trivia game--a concept that Cedric must find shocking, I know.

I can eliminate A, B, and C. That leaves D and makes sense since I can easily see both of them as football players.

Question 6 - Level 8 Mixed Emotions
Considered one of the greatest tearjerkers of all time, what 1989 film's tagline was "The funniest movie ever to make you cry"?
A. Moonstruck B. When Harry Met Sally...

D. Steel Magnolias

?? A, B, and C aren't tearjerkers. They all have happy endings, and IMHO, Moonstruck is quite cheerful.

Question 8 - Level 7 Not One to Boast
Which actor reportedly keeps a photo of himself as Batman on his office well as a reminder to not make films solely for money?
A. Jack Nicholson B. Jim Carrey
C. George Clooney D. Danny DeVito

Answer and value

C. George Clooney

Bank: $54100

This is obviously the kind of easy question I need. The others played villains; Clooney is the only one who played Batman.
