Time for a Nelly Game!

[smilergrogan]

And I don't think it's Nelly's responsibility to get us a list of questions or transcripts. There should be other people on the Bored who have kept that sort of information.

I didn't say it was his responsibility. But as a practical matter, there's no way the puzzle will get finished unless somebody has access to a complete list of contestants. I have a complete list (without questions) for Aug.99 - Aug. 01, and I earlier noted a website with transcripts from June 00 through the 4th syndicated season. On here the transcripts only go back to when this site started in late 07 (I think). I don't know where there are transcripts for Super Millionaire.

There is a link below my avatar which leads you to my WWTBAM page. In the statistics link, you can find lists of every single contestant and their airdate(s). That should help you determine which transcripts to look for here or here.

There's a site that has a bunch of WWTBAM answers but no questions. It may help a little bit. That site is here.

An old friend of mine, Tim Connolly, has most of the transcripts from August 1999 to February 2000. His website still exists here.

Almost every syndie transcript can be found on the WWTBAM test page that 15QA has in the Transcripts Forum of the Bored.

Perfect! What a great resource. Thanks - we'll get it done now!

Looked up Syndicated and Super millionaire winners from Nelly's website, and thanks to John C. for contributing Primetime answers. It looks like it always is the person's final correct answer. I wonder if Frank knows that somebody won $250,000 answering Norman Mailer?

Only have time for two quick lookups.

Moe Cain's 500K question was about Henry Ford.

Justin Gambino's 500K question was about the TV show Head of the Class, which I'd guess is the ABC series that I originally thought might have been the Brady Bunch.

And Moe Cain's million-dollar question was about the length of the Islamic calendar (in a non-leap year). --Bob

[smilergrogan]

Updated answers and pairings. 41 complete and partial leaves 7 (at least) yet to be identified. I looked at other $250K primetime winners and didn't find any more matching last names, but maybe some will show up in unanswered questions. Somebody early on in primetime had Beaufort Scale as an answer but I can't remember who and don't want to search through the transcripts. That's one more, and maybe we have to include some $125K winners.
I think there are now two wrong answers unless Mary Todd Lincoln is wrong for #14, but I'm assuming she's right since we needed both a Mary and a Todd.

[Weyoun]

The "code I live by" is Castillo from Miami Vice.

I found a video of Seth Green where he credits Ted Levine (Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs) for the Chris voice.

[Weyoun]

I think the young comedian is ARIES SPEARS.

[Weyoun]

The circus crasher is BRIANNE MURPHY.

[Weyoun]

The door to door dance salesman is MARTY ALLEN. I am shamelessly googling at this point.

[Weyoun]

Since we still need a Perry, and Rayburn was from Texas, perhaps the Rayburn question is Texas Governor Rick Perry.

[Weyoun]

The Anchorman reference is to Merlin Olsen - it is in the "Rich mahogany" sequence.

[NellyLunatic1980]

I am shamelessly googling at this point.

There's no shame in it. I've done it, too.

[NellyLunatic1980]

There are still three definite answers that are wrong.

One answer with a question mark is correct.

There are still those two partially correct answers as well.

[NellyLunatic1980]

Somebody early on in primetime had Beaufort Scale as an answer but I can't remember who and don't want to search through the transcripts.

Do a Yahoo or Google search on "Beaufort scale" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and you may just get the name...

[smilergrogan]

Updated. The Springfield person is PAYNE STEWART, who fills two blanks. Is Richard Nixon the connection between Whoopi and Elvis? I know Elvis famously visited him in the White House.

I suspect two of the three wrong answers are these:
79. He is the oldest person ever to win an MTV Movie Award.
JACK NICHOLSON (we already have a Jack)
106. He was the very first comedian to receive a standing ovation on a debut appearance on “The Tonight Show”.
ROCKY LAPORTE

The only other unused definites are:
1. “Any man who wants to be President is either an egomaniac or crazy.”
DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER
31. It’s the Dakota word for “water”.
MINNE or MINI
63. On an episode of “South Park”, Kenny G and Yoko Ono organized four million third-graders to perform this song on recorders, humorously causing the entire population of Earth to crap their pants.
MY COUNTRY TIS OF THEE
87. “Now I’m Doc Strange in the Range like ‘Whoa!’ Hundred miles an hour, switchin’ lanes like ‘Whoa!’”
DANCE FLOWER in "AUDITION POP", or vice versa - never heard of either!
108. Comedian Artie Lange auditioned for a role in this film, but he described his audition as being so bad, it was “like a plumber who won a radio contest and got to try out for a movie”.

Is Richard Nixon the connection between Whoopi and Elvis? I know Elvis famously visited him in the White House.

I seem to remember that Whoopi Goldberg used to be engaged to Frank Langella...

Looked up Syndicated and Super millionaire winners from Nelly's website, and thanks to John C. for contributing Primetime answers. It looks like it always is the person's final correct answer. I wonder if Frank knows that somebody won $250,000 answering Norman Mailer?

Norman Mailer. I hate that guy.

Norman Mailer. I hate that guy.

And from what I've read about Norman Mailer, everybody else hated him, too.
