2 was Carly Fiorina. Close enough on Leon Czolgosz.

IQs:
1. Did you star in the sitcom All-American Girl (the lone sitcom to focus on an Asian-American family until Fresh Off the Boat decades later)?
2. While we’re on the subject, did you star as Jessica on Fresh Off the Boat?
3. Were your wife and airplane Glennis?

1 DQ reserved.

305
  1. I am not Margaret Cho
  2. I am not Constance Wu
  3. DQ
306

bordelond, this is the point in the game where the Host usually calls for a cessation of IQs, and gives a deadline for asking earned DQs.

307

Based on a time limit, or upon having reached 20 questions?

308

On having reached 20 questions.

309

All right, at this point, we can stop submitting Indirect Questions.

@Elendil_s_Heir , @De_La_Rue , and @Prof.Pepperwinkle (and anyone I’m forgetting) can submit their reserved Direct Questions by noon tomorrow U.S. Central Time – in roughly 20 hours and 40 minutes.

310

I’ve already submitted all of mine.

Since we’re past noon central and no more IQs will be accepted, I’m going to throw out a significant hint:

Hints 12, 13, and 14 above, taken together, kind of led everyone astray. It got everyone thinking “Someone famous for TV!” – but the real lynchpin here is “Best known for comedy”.

I am someone that is, indeed, known from movies – but not BEST known from movies though I have had some memorable cameo-ish roles. As Hint 13 says, I am best known from comedy.

And yes … I did lead in a sitcom at one point. But that sitcom was really a footnote in my career.

318

Thanks, but I’m still drawing a blank.

319

I’ll give this a shot as my final “Are you Firstname Lastname?” guess.

Are you George Carlin?

320

Yes, indeed – I am George Carlin!

I’m a little relieved that someone got it – I thought I may have inadvertently flubbed the answers to the DQs somehow.
