Yeah, are we missing something, or was that just a screw-up by the writers?

DD2 - HEAT - Meaning “caused by heat”, it’s found before “spring” or “underwear."

Zoey's response was "lung disease," which elicited a FJ boo-hiss from Alex.

Ah, once again faulty FJ wagering rears its ugly head. Assuming Jack would make a somewhat rational wager to cover Blair, Joe had to be correct to beat Jack even if Jack were incorrect. If you have to be correct to have any chance of winning, then you might as well bet it all. The only downside is the difference

Right. And they're competing brands. Do you think it costs more (or less?) to have your product placed in a $400 clue or a $1000 clue?

Trailer Park Boys! (Like the rest of your list as well.)

This continues to baffle me. I assume these obviously bright people prepare by brushing up on there knowledge of certain categories, yet apparently put little if any effort into learning wagering strategy, which is a huge part of the game and relatively easy to pick-up.

I guessed Zaire, which isn't landlocked and has been the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 1997. So that would be a "no" for me.

Read the link. Jeez! From their standpoint, it's like there's no reason not to buy a promise ring.

Lincoln was shot by Booth on April 14, 1865, dying early the next day; Booth was shot and killed on April 26, 1865.

I may be mistaken (common occurrence), but I always thought promise rings signified the step in a relationship where the giver and recipient become committed to being in a monogamous relationship (which may or may not lead to engagement). I've never heard of a promise ring signifying celibacy, nor exchanged outside

By 'amazing' I think you meant 'hilarious.' You sure this isn't from an old National Lampoon parody?

I reckon. Even I, a mediocre dilettante when it comes to U.S. history, knew Arizona was the last of the contiguous 48 to be admitted.

Maybe I'm being generous, but I think they both probably knew their anwers were wrong but for whatever reason didn't want to leave their screens blank. Then again, none of the three knew John Huston, the Erie Canal, and that D-Day happened in June.

Tim and Alex shook hands after Monday's game.

Agreed. And I'd like to add . . . Bobby Moynihan.

Do you have a cite? Not doubting you, but all I could find was that Hammond said Trump had a good work ethic when Trump did the show.

Totally agree re Baldwin's Trump (and I like Baldwin, too). I'm on board with keeping Hammond as SNL's resident Trump.

Good catch! I saw that too but didn't make the connection.

Thanks for the link. You should watch it if you haven't already done so. Apparently (according to the YouTube blurb), this ending more closely follows the novel and was rejected because it tested poorly with preview audiences. It's interesting in its own way — kind of sad yet uplifting. I much prefer the ending that
