Game #122 -- Homage to Mutt and Jeff

[Weyoun]

I kept trying to find Boss Tweed, but it's Shannon Tweed of PLAYBOY and Gene Simmons fame. Shannon Lucid plus Thurlow Weed.

[Weyoun]

BTW, is it possible that CONNECTICUT points toward Roger S-Herman, making Martha M-Oxley a famous VICTIM?

[NellyLunatic1980]

There were a lot of possibilities for #92, bit I believe the correct answer is RALPH ABERNATHY.

[NellyLunatic1980]

#79 has to be STEPHEN KEARNY because it goes with SAMUEL TUCKER to make STEPHEN STUCKER, who played the goofy and flamboyant air traffic controller in "Airplane!"

[NellyLunatic1980]

The Jane Froman biopic "With a Song in My Heart" starred Susan Hayward.

[ne1410s]

Could #52 be Trump's guy who sits with Trump (in the apprentice) in the boardroom? No clue on name.

[Weyoun]

it is the trump guy, I mentioned him in the first day. I think his name is George.

[mcd1400de]

74. Originally a member of a family vocal group, this singer had his biggest solo hit with a song that was introduced on Broadway by Robert Preston and Mary Martin. (Fans of later night television remember him for something else entirely.)
Ed Ames?

Definitely ED AMES. The song is "My Cup Runneth Over", from IDo, IDo.

[Weyoun]

Sanford meisner has a famous acting METHOD. The tv guy is Michael Eisner.

[Carmelo Anthony]

it is the trump guy, I mentioned him in the first day. I think his name is George.

George Ross, who name can make Gross.

[NellyLunatic1980]

#22 has to be CHELSEA HANDLER because her name can make Chandler.

[Weyoun]

Dolby is the Ray we need.

[NellyLunatic1980]

#91 is the H. Agar we need.

HERBERT AGAR wrote "The People's Choice".

[NellyLunatic1980]

I'm willing to bet millions to muffins that #78 is David Letterman's team's driver, BUDDY RICE. He gives us the Brice we need to make Fanny Brice.

[Weyoun]

errol garner is pretty famous pianist - I have his concert by the sea on my iPod. That plus fred Lynn gets us in like errol flynn of robin HOOD.

[silverscreenselect]

30. This old-time stage actress had her greatest triumph in the 1920s as an oriental brothel keeper named Mother Goddam, and stuck around long enough to play the Nurse to Judith Anderson’s Medea.

I cheated on this one, but I had a feeling it would have floated around forever. This is Florence Reed, who goes with Arthur Wellesley to make Arthur Freed, producer of many of the classic MGM musicals of the 40s and 50s.

I can usually count on Melly to get these old-time actors, but unfortunately, she's out of commission.

[Weyoun]

We should just put James Mill with Whale. JS Mill's upbringing is pretty famous.

[smilergrogan]

Remember there are three triples and one single. The single must be a one-name person like Cher. The triples likely have a first and middle name, or possibly two people combine an initial and last name to make a long last name (like S. Hake + S. Peare).

[smilergrogan]

By the way, I don't get the connection to Mutt and Jeff. Are there famous people named M. Utt and J. Eff, or other characters in Mutt and Jeff whose names worked like that?

[NellyLunatic1980]

Ralph Abernathy and Burton Lane make Ralph Blane, who co-wrote "The Trolley Song". Y'know, the one Judy Garland sang in "Meet Me in St. Louis". Clang, clang, clang went the trolley.

[NellyLunatic1980]

By the way, I don't get the connection to Mutt and Jeff. Are there famous people named M. Utt and J. Eff, or other characters in Mutt and Jeff whose names worked like that?

The connection is that a short last name becomes a longer last name. Mutt was tall and Jeff was short.

I was thinking more like the combination of the shortened first name and the full-length last name. But it doesn't matter. I was just trying not to make the name too obvious. Smiler is too good at reading my mind on these.

[silverscreenselect]

Judith Regan must go with OJ. The more I think of it, Ronald Goldman is usually referred to as Ron Goldman, and we need a Ronald for Ronald Searle.

It's just that the link between that pairing and OJ was so good that I assumed that's what Frank wanted, until someone else came up with Judith Regan.
