Thread Games

I don’t know the traffic light question- take a DQ.

482

Maybe not then, but I’m failing to get the drift now.

Ask a DQ.

483

You are neither Albert A. Michelson nor Edward Morley. Bit of a cryptic crossword question (I thought about going back and adding the word “scientist” in there somewhere) - feel free to disqualify it if you want.

If I still get my DQ, then:

DQ: Does your TV show appear on over-the-air TV?

484

Yes- if, by that, you mean my show is on a major network, and not on cable.

485

OK. I believe at this point we get 3 guesses; I have no frigging clue so I won’t take one.

486

Are you an Obnoxious Microphone Guy?

487

No, I’m not Bobby Moynihan… but I spent a big part of my career as a REALLY Obnoxious Microphone Guy of a different sort.

488

Damn! And I think he hits 20 for 20 on the clues. I had my person all picked out and everything!

489

Since there’s no money at stake, I don’t mind playing a little longer… but if people are getting bored, I’ll just put this game out of its misery and tell you who it is.

I’m flexible.

IQ: Were you the band leader for the Tonight Show in the 90s?

491

Oh, let’s keep going, if you’re willing.

Testimony in a later trial revealed that Charles Manson didn’t kill some random guy in a car one night because the light turned green and the guy drove off before ol’ Crazy Charlie could act.

DQ: Are you black?

IQ: Did you mock religion in a popular documentary?

492

No, I’m not Branford Marsalis… but again, you’re not that far off.

No, not black.

And still not Bill Maher.

Sorry, I must’ve missed the earlier Bill Maher answer.

Don’t know this one- ask a DQ
