Mentioning "gentle ribbing" is forbidden in 38 states!

Let's hope Amy Adams learned one lesson from the last time she was in a [Name] and [Name] movie: be in the entertaining half!

I spotted "Billy" and "Doug Savant" and the open shirt was the "Grant Show" giveaway. And who wouldn't recognise "Black Girl"?

Swap in Trixie for Fame and that's my list as well [if we're not accepting previous winners].
