Thanks! Although Christine Baranski _is_ on the show, I was actually asking about Carrie Coon, who plays the railway baron’s ambitious wife. Baranski plays her snooty across-the-street neighbor.

My other IQs:

Do you play a senior Bene Gesserit in the new adaptation of _Dune_? - Charlotte Rampling  
Are you Harrison Ford’s wife? - Callista Flockhart

New letter coming soon…

Yes, Yes, I’ll rephrase, as that does sound like something Rick Sanchez would say, especially given the numerous pop culture references in that show.

IQ1: Were you the first actor to utter the phrase “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubblegum”?  
IQ2: Do you not want no short people round here?  
IQ3: Were you the second host of _Death Valley Days_?
