Botticelli, June 2011

No, I’m not… “Bloody Mary” Tudor?

Actually, I screwed the order up (peril of going from memory alone) – Addison Morton Walker is the full name of the Beetle Bailey creator. He used “Addison” for his Boner’s Ark strip.

If it’s okay with you, I’ll ask for my

DQ: Is the program on which you regularly appear a talk show?

And if you’re still answering them, I have an

IQ: Are you a former second baseman whose baseball commentary is often mocked?

Yes, I appear on a talk show.

But I’m not Joe Morgan.

Correct. It’s almost - almost - enough to make you feel sorry for her.

IQ: Were you a famous Confederate diarist?

Don’t know this one- take a DQ.

You are correct.

IQ: Although best known for appearing on a late night talk show, did you provide vocals on two different albums by The Offspring?

I admit, I cheated. I had to look it up to see that it was Larry “Bud” Melman from the old David Letterman show.

Ask a DQ.

Mary Chesnut, a close friend of Varina Davis, Jefferson Davis’s wife.

I’m stumped as to who astorian is thinking of. I suspect I won’t recognize this person’s name even after I learn it.

DQ: First name begin with A through G?

IQ: Were you the architect of the American victory at the Battle of Cowpens?

I’m stumped. It looks like he’s a sidekick/second banana/toady on a network late-night talk show, but the only ones I can think of that have an ‘M’ last initial have all been asked and have something to disqualify them anyway, like being dead or off the air. I might be able to get it if I cheat and use Wikipedia/IMDB.
Any suggestions for my DQ? Maybe which network?

I apologize for this- I didn’t think this was a stumper. Actually, after doing Ivan Turgenev last time, I thought I’d pick a lowbrow TV figure for a change of pace.

If people want to give up, I don’t blame them.

But for what it’s worth, the person is on NBC.

DQ: No, first name doesn’t start with A through G.

Don’t know this- ask a DQ

Making a (wrong) guess: Are you Higgins from Late Night w/Jimmy Fallon?

Nope

Daniel Morgan.

I think astorian has well and truly stumped us. Assuming any other player has actually heard of this guy, you get to start the next round.

Okay, time for Euthanasia of this round… sorry, everybody.

I was going for Stuttering John Melendez, longtime ambush interviewer for Howard Stern, later the announcer for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, and presently a writer/correspondent/sometime sketch participant for Jay Leno.
Anybody else who wants to volunteer can take over.

I speak only for myself, but you stumped me fair and square with someone I might have thought of if only I’d known the relevant shows better. I think you have earned the right to continue on in the chooser’s chair unless you don’t want to…

Seconded.

Yes, I have heard of “Stuttering John” - not sure I could’ve remembered his last name, though. Well played, astorian.

fire away

Ya gotta give us an initial.
