No, I am not Rachel Maddow (though she CAN’T really have been the first, can she?)

472

No, I am not Bill Maher (the discussion was whether the 9/11 suicide bombers were cowards).

473

According to her Wikipedia entry, she was the 1st “out” Rhodes Scholar.

474

Okay, that’s more plausible.

475

IQ: Were you known as the “Human Laugh Track”?

476

No, I am not… Ed McMahon*? (I never heard this nickname, but I often saw him mocked for automatically guffawing at even Carson’s lamest jokes).

  • But… maybe I shouldn’t tell you this, but you’re on the right track.
477

Damn, I thought I had it with Madden - he seemed to fit all the DQ answers perfectly! But I also realise that it was probably too easy for a game on this board.

The British comic I was referring to is Michael McIntrye.

DQ: Is your TV show a comedy show of some sort?

I will bow out at this point because although I hope the above DQ will be helpful, as a Brit who doesn’t watch much TV I have almost zero chance of knowing the answer here.

478

Still unanswered.

479

IQ: Did you fail to get the drift?

480

Yes, the TV show I appear on is largely comic in nature.
