Knew the mini car to skirt connection.

Chronology and geography would have helped retrospectively - The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms are in the 20s, while For Whom the Bell Tolls and A Farewell to Arms are both set in Spain. A Farewell to Arms is set in Italy. Oops, I messed up juggling the three Wikipedia pages, and trying to ...

Eisenhower Friday

Don’t think I would get Monday without prejudices.

I keep trying to come up with 8 and my brain fogs over. I know no ketchup, and probably no mayo either. Which leaves mustard, relish, onions, chili, maybe bell peppers, and then my imagination just runs out of gas. Anyone have any clues? Sport peppers not chili peppers. Don't think they use bell pe...

Briefly considered Philippines Thursday but dropped it as probably being independent by WW2.

Pakistan and Iran Monday
Can’t remember seeing the Wilde play, but might have seen parts of it
Triassic, but probably would have clammed

Laurie’s husband was on Jeopardy about a year ago, during the Holzhauer reign. Surprised it didn’t come up in the interview.

Instaget FJ.

For FJ, I was pretty sure Pakistan was #2, then flipped a coin between Iran and India for #3, and went the wrong way with Iran.

Never seen or read Dr. Moreau

Never seen Moana. Did not consider an animated film for the answer.

Went with Washington Irving for the Washington biographer.

Have had a couple of Filet O Fish sandwiches in my time

Without wasting a poll slot, who else here knew that Indian religious place? Count me as one who knows a bit about Angkor Wat, but was totally thrown by the reference to Vishnu, since I thought it was always a Buddhist temple complex. The clue left me thinking about temple complexes in India, which...

I really feel old when no one recognizes Mike Wallace.

Couldn’t get the Friedan title fast enough
Clammed on the Maui question

Saw the Waitress movie but don’t remember much about it. Have seen plenty of TV ads for the Broadway show.

The clue was a puzzling instaget. Is it really that easy? Yes, as there was no doubt for winning 5 in combo with always qualifying. There was no other country that could even sniff that distinction as I knew France only had 2 and could not forget the crying over Italy not making it last go-around. ...

Waitress was hard not to know about as a J! viewer in the NYC area. My pre-guess was Hairspray.

Yes, I think we viewers in the NY TV broadcast area have a decided advantage on at least recent Broadway questions, simply from the amount of advertising we see.

No idea Friday, was thinking of the Bible
No 50/50/90
No help from pop culture

After archiving the game and listening multiple times, I'm not sure about how to present Krystina's incorrect response for the DAY JOB VU $2000 clue. I apologize in advance if I butcher this. The actual pronunciation is "va we(nasal n) sa". In the second syllable, the l has a line through it which ...

Thought Lee was too obvious and went with Stonewall Jackson
Knew the laurel connection to Apollo, but somehow got stuck on the Olympics and never got to laureate.

Got Rickover

Regarding FJ, I remembered this previous reference. I wonder if the players today were given any advice regarding specificity.

I was wondering the same thing. Would a last name only be acceptable? Any advice on specifying a first name could be seen as a clue itself.

Not often, if ever, that they show family members in the audience.

I thought the DJ board trickier than usual.
