Same! I said it to my girlfriend as a blind guess, and she replied that surely that would be too easy.

Man, I love Whiplash and La La Land and think Ryan Gosling is great, but this just seems like a waste of talent. Biopics are pretty much inevitably stifling of creativity or interesting storytelling, even with great directors involved.

I happen to have read The Devil in the White City recently, which made this clue an easy one. Highly recommend the book. The 1893 Columbian Exposition made an enormous impact on art, science, and culture, including pop culture.

They wanted the two states, but Trebek messed it up on the first one. Amelia said the two states and he waited as if there was more to say, then corrected her as if she had done something wrong.

Epilogue: Cameron Crowe and Zach Braff sit in identical director's chairs. In unison, they turn, smile, and wink at the camera as credits roll.

FJ betting is usually way more important, and a little more straightforward. (Basically: "Bet the minimum you need to win, assuming your opponents are right.") Plus, you have time to think it through a little bit.

Right? I'd love to see this stuff reported as "percentage of revenue" in addition to raw numbers.

The flea-flicker from their own endzone last week was almost definitely a "fuck it" move. That it was thrown into triple coverage for an INT was just icing on the comedy cake.

It makes sense to pick the team with the most delightful British pronunciation, though.

I believe you mean a draw, old chap.

Eh, it's way more than a few hours. Preparing for the show takes a fair amount of work. Still far from a big deal, obviously.

This interview didn't strike me as complaining, just offering a tidbit. In context he really didn't seem to care very much. Which makes sense as ABC pays him $10 million or so for Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Let's add Larry David and string as many "last name is a first name" actors together in one film as possible.

My guess as well. For some reason he seems like the kind of guy who'd work for a bagel sandwich, let alone $25,000.

Important point, and one to keep in mind in similar contexts like pro sports too. Is it absurd for, say, a basketball player to make $30 million/year when so many people are struggling? Sure, but the NBA as a whole makes billions, so the real question isn't players vs. schoolteachers – it's (millionaire) players vs.

Well, I agree with O'Neal that such a character works better as a supporting role rather than a lead. He could add that maniacal edge without being expected to carry a series that threatened to sag under its own weight from the beginning.

In real life, that kind of loft would probably be very expensive, but in the show's world it's established to be in a dicey neighborhood and suffer from frequent maintenance issues… plus there's only one bathroom/shower for 4 (or more) people. I mean, if Nick can afford to live there it can't be too nice, right?

Robbie wrapped them, but didn't put names on them, right? They mention Nick's wrapping skills but not his handwriting or anything.

I would have liked it more if the drunk guy were an amazing beatboxer or something. Amy's inability (or at least lack of permission) to do mouth percussion was pretty funny.

Yeah, and it struck me as too similar to the cold open two weeks ago when Jake slides into the elevator with Holt.
