New Game: Switcheroo

[smilergrogan]

If #26 is Phyllis, then #27 can't be DeSoto, alphabetically.

????? + 7. MARION BARRY + 26. PHYLLIS DILLER = ?????? + Barry Diller (Fox)

The most likely other name is somebody whose first name is Francis, to make Francis Marion ... who would also go with Fox. So Diller may go with something else.

I got it - must be FRANCIS DRAKE

9. Michigan Republicans have wanted to turn the Wolverine State into a "red" state for years. They officially got their wish earlier this year, thanks to this mayor.
The Mayor of Detroit, whose city went bankrupt ("red")?

Filling in a couple of blanks

9. Michigan Republicans have wanted to turn the Wolverine State into a "red" state for years. They officially got their wish earlier this year, thanks to this mayor.

DAVE BING????

40. This actress, whose film career lasted only a decade, became a member of AMPAS almost 50 years after she retired... thanks to a lot of convincing from her friend, Ann Miller.

How about JUNE HAVER? She retired from films after marrying Fred MacMurray.

55. White Rain hairspray and Sanderson Farms chicken can boast that they've had her as their longtime spokesperson.

I don't know about Sanderson Farms but White Rain was LOUISE MANDRELL and she fits alpha.

58. This former U.S. House representative, who is the son of a former U.S. House representative, destroyed his own political career when he refused to quit the U.S. Senate race that he had no chance of winning and refused to endorse the independent candidate who could have won that U.S. Senate race.

I am guessing KENDRICK MEEK -- the independent would be Charlie Crist. The votes for Crist and Meek together is more than Marco Rubio got.

[Pastor Fireball]

Wow... I think that's the quickest anybody has ever figured out the Tangredi in any of my games. I thought for sure that somebody would take the bait and immediately look for an alphabet-related Tangredi after realizing that there will be 26 final matches. So good job on avoiding that trap.

In this consolidation:

--One definite answer is wrong, but it has since been corrected.
--All of the answers with question marks are wrong
--Several parts of the matches are wrong (either wrong names matched together or names matched with wrong associated words), but they will certainly work themselves out as the game progresses.

Identify the 77 people and fictional characters based on the clues below. Using each answer only once, form 26 matches of 3 names and 2 of the associated words in the Word List based on a Tangredi, or hidden principle that you must discover for yourself. There may be alternate matches, but only one configuration will allow you to complete the puzzle.

Now I'm sure that most of you are sitting there, demanding that I check my math. "If there are 77 names and each can be used only once, you can't make 26 triplets because 77 isn't divisible by 3." Well, that's the Fireball twist this time around. You have to identify this clueless person on your own in order to complete the 26th and final triplet.

1. BUD ABBOTT
2. Every NBA fan should know that he usually sits next to Jack Nicholson at L.A. Lakers' home games.

3. Before she died, Patti Page re-recorded her most famous song with this man as her pianist.

12. In an effort to distance itself from its racist founder, the city council of Tulsa, OK, recently voted to rename one if its major streets and neighborhoods after this important American. (Here's the weird part: They have the same surname, so the place names never actually changed.)

14. An astonished Leontyne Price was among the guests at a party where he announced that he was leaving the wine business to pursue his acting career.
Somebody BROSNAN?

28. ALLYSON FELIX
29. She and the husband of the founder of the management company that she hired to kickstart her solo career dueted on a rock ballad that peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of 1989. To this day, it's the only Top 10 pop hit for either one of them.

76. Leonard Nimoy starred in a 1971 TV movie that took place on a submarine named after this military leader.
That was Assault on the Wayne a very good movie with a stellar cast named after 'Mad' Anthony Wayne of the Ohio Indian Wars one of the chiefs was Blue Jacket a source of the name of the Columbus Hockey Team just as the Chicago team is named after Black Hawk a Sauk chief who later fought militia in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin some of the combatants in that war were Winfield Scott, Zachary Taylor, Jefferson Davis(he married Taylor's daughter) and Abraham Lincoln

67. Every TV and film appearance this blonde actress has made in her career has been with her natural hair color... with the exception of her acting debut in a 1982 ABC Afterschool Special, where she was a brunette.

12. In an effort to distance itself from its racist founder, the city council of Tulsa, OK, recently voted to rename one if its major streets and neighborhoods after this important American. (Here's the weird part: They have the same surname, so the place names never actually changed.)

From Wyatt Tate Brady to Brady Bill namesake James Brady just like King County WA was renamed after Martin Luther King rather that former VP William Rufus King, President Buchanan's very good friend and room mate not there'e anything wrong with that

Between Christopher Lowell and Louise Mandrell, must be SHANNON LUCID.

36. "Bad" doesn't begin to describe the animated series featuring this titular character. This "nasty and brutish" series was canceled after 7 episodes, making it one of the biggest turkeys of recent TV seasons.

75. Zero people on this forum were even alive when this man became the only gubernatorial candidate in U.S. history to win the Democratic primary and the Republican primary at the same time.

I looked this up, and it happened in 1946. Surely there's someone at least 67 years old on this forum!

51. "Everybody Hates Chris", "George Lopez", and "Two and a Half Men" are some of the sitcoms where this depression posterboy has made his most recent cameos.

This is probably RICHARD LEWIS, who comes alphabetically between Jennifer Jones and Heather Locklear, and has a great name for this game!

And by the way, we should change BEN FRANKLIN to BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, so that we can use BENJAMIN as a last name. And maybe BENJAMIN FRANKLIN goes with PAUL PIERCE for Franklin Pierce? I don't know what the associated word would be, though.

69. Nobody knows if this fictional TV character would be as well-remembered today if he were still known by his original name of Sonny Friendly.

I knew the name sounded familiar and it finally hit me - Muppet game show host GUY SMILEY

A ton of Merry Men are definitely older than 67, but they don't count.

I know that one BB is 67 years old spot-on, but he might have been born after the 1946 California primary. I just wish I could remember how long ago this year I posted a happy birthday message on his Facebook page.

She must go with 6. ELIZABETH ASHLEY to make Shannon Elizabeth, and someone with the first name Ashley goes with one of the words.
