Previous IQs: Are your initials “DW” and you’re a famous black singer? - I’ll rephrase Did you and two other singers have a hit with “Hold On”? - Close enough, but it’s Carnie Wilson (Wendy, her sister, is also in the trio) Did you play Ens. Harry Kim? - Garrett Wang DQ: Greatest fame before 1975? IQs: You are not Dinah Washington. Are your initials “DW” and you’re a famous black singer, best known for hits in the Sixties? Did you play a Congressional aide in the sequel to _Bruce Almighty_? Did you receive advice while at the keyboard for the proper timing of “Puttin’ on the Ritz”? ---
