COMING & GOING
1991
A former football star hosted the popular game show To Tell The Truth for part of one season, ending in 1991. He was replaced for much of that season by a host who was already hosting two other game shows, including one which he still hosts today. (Got that?)
Name both hosts. (2 points each)
Bonus: Name the two women who were recurring panelists on virtually every iteration of To Tell The Truth from the 50s through the 90s. (2 points each)
CATS & DOGS
1995
Movie synopsis: When a serious diphtheria epidemic strikes Nome, Alaska, in 1924, a sled dog and his crew come to the rescue when they race over 650 miles across Alaska in five and a half days to successfully deliver the diphtheria antitoxin in time.
Who is this famous (titular) dog? (2 points)
Bonus: Who voiced the dog in the animated film? (2 points)
Reverse Bonus: If Catfish gets either of these wrong, everyone gets it wrong!
WILL & GRACE
1996
A military vessel, nicknamed Amazing Grace, was launched this year. It's on a very short list of U.S. military vessels named after women. The ship's namesake is credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches. Meanwhile, a popular comic strip released it's final strip on the final day of 1996, marking the end of a decade-long run with a total of 3,150 strips in total.
