Jerry said it is probably Mickey Rooney since he is convinced the others won Emmys in the past.
He decided to call Todd up, who said he knew the Wisconsin question since he went to school there.
Jerry joked that Todd does not belong on his show as nobody who went to school would work there.
Todd could not help but Jerry repeated his conviction that all but Mickey Rooney won Emmys in the past, but none of them are cast members of "The Big Bang Theory."

Q2: I was in awe that he did that so quickly. And I already knew that in real life he was a smart cookie, from having read about him. That would have taken me about a week.


Q5: I know MMMBop is a Hansen song, not a House of Pain song, though I don't know any of these actual songs. "Jump" makes sense from not setting up reverberations that could coincide with the stadium's "natural harmonic frequency" though.



Q8: I knew this 'cause I'd read it. Mr. Springer's hubris got the better of him here.


He still had JTQ & should have used it.
