Twelve hours left for that one stray DQ.
How much time do you want for Firstname Last name guesses?
Usually that’s one day.
Anybody got a Firstname Lastname guess?
Deadline 8 p.m. Eastern, Monday.
I got nothing.
Good thing I’m not playing this time – I suspect this will turn out to be somebody I’ve never heard of.
Not a clue.
Are you Bob Lopez?
Yes! I am Bobby Lopez, songwriter for Frozen, Avenue Q, and The Book of Mormon* and youngest winner of an EGOT-- Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.
(He was on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me a couple weeks ago, because The Book of Mormon has been running on Broadway for so long, talking about the celebrations they have planned, and low their expectations were).
Yes, indeed.
Not for me - though I had always heard his name as “Robert” before. Good hosting and good guess, Prof!
I had always heard it as Robert, but figured it was worth a shot.
Gotta think up somebody…
I fear this may have been a classic " you see what you expect to see", I don’t know why I first heard Bobby, maybe it was because the first I heard of him was an interview with Terri Gross, and it was with wife Kristin, talking about the songs from Frozen. But in my head he was Bobby Lopez, and when I did research, sure it also used Robert, but that didn’t really register.
It was harder than I expected to answer questions like performing arts? composer vs. songwriter?
