Kaitlin Olson

Kaitlin stars in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and has a show on Quibi called "Flipped". She is not a trivia person but loves the show. Her charity is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation because one of her very best friends suffers from CF. She brought Megan Ganz, a comedy writer, as her +1.

$16,000: What deep-fried Tex Mex dish gets its name from the Spanish word for "thingamajig"?
A - enchilada
B - chimichanga
C - quesadilla

Kaitlin feels like it's "B" and Megan agrees. She says "gordita" means "a little fat", and enchiladas & quesadillas aren't deep-fried.

$32,000: Who joined Instagram in October 2019 and set a Guinness record for fastest time to reach 1 million followers -- just 5 hours and 16 minutes?

Kaitlin remembers Jennifer Aniston joining and gaining a million followers "ridiculously fast"; she asks Megan what month that was. Megan says it was October, and she posted a photo of her and some co-stars from "Friends".
Spoiler
Answer: B (Jennifer Aniston)
Kaitlin has the option to trade out a lifeline so she trades the 50:50 in order to keep Megan for one more question.

$64,000: Seconds before JFK was shot, the First Lady of Texas reportedly turned around in her car seat and said, "Mr. President, you can't say" what?
A - the visit wasn't a total loss
B - the weather has been unkind
C - Dallas doesn't love you
D - Texas isn't exciting

Kaitlin has no idea, so she decides to ask her +1.
Spoiler
Ask the +1 results: The one that jumps out at Megan is "C". She's never heard it before. She thinks that "A" and "D" would be too ironic.
Kaitlin decides to Phone a Friend, Craig Maisen, another writer. He wrote "Chernobyl".
Spoiler
Phone a Friend results: It takes Kaitlin 20 seconds to read the question and Craig says he think's it's C.
She decides to go with that answer.
Spoiler
Answer: C (Dallas doesn't love you)

$125,000: The human body commonly enters a state called the "cephalic phase" before doing what?

B - eating a meal
C - having sex
D - going into shock

Kaitlin knows "phallic" and wonders if "cephalic" is "pre-phallic". She doesn't want to ask Jimmy but she will, using her last lifeline.
Spoiler
Ask the host: Jimmy says he has a different opinion, because he thinks it's "D". His grandfather went into some horrible thing with his skin and remembered "cephalic" being part of the condition. "Phallic" typically has two "L"s. He describes his grandfather's condition as his head ballooning up like a poisonous reaction. He had to go to the hospital. Kaitlin "kinda" agrees with Jimmy.
Kaitlin says that Jimmy's words make sense. She doesn't want to be done, so she makes "D" her final answer.
Spoiler
Answer: B (eating a meal)
commercial break

The only one of these I've heard of is fortunately the right answer.

This is one I would need a lifeline for, and would use Ask the Host, figuring Jimmy Kimmel would know.
