Nice thought, **Chock** , but _It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World_ was set in the present day for its time. However, it also only won an Oscar for Best Sound Effects. Intriguing.

Whoops, missed that one. Uh…well… it wasn’t set in the present day when I saw it on TV in the 70s. Yeah, that works.

Push the button, Max!

I am the engagingly despicable, entertainingly detestable **Professor Fate** from _The Great Race_ as played by Jack Lemmon.

**MonkeysBrother** had me figured out.

The movie was Blake Edwards’s first bomb. It starred Tony Curtis as the hero, Natalie Wood as the beauty, Keenan Wynn as Tony’s loyal sidekick, and Peter Falk as poor old Max. The film is famous for having the biggest pie fight in all of cinematic history!

No, when someone has a round where no one guesses the person, and no one playing knows the person, then it goes back to the previous host. So, you’re back, DLR.
