Botticelli, May 2011

I’ll answer anyway. No, I’m not Henry J. Kaiser.

Looking back, I see you were. I have no idea. Herman Miller the chairman?

No, not Herman Miller. But I am a businessman, entrepreneur, restaurateur, and chef.

I’m Col. Harland Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken!

His invention, still in use, was the “secret recipe” for cooking chicken.

I’m going to be out of town, so I’ll start the next letter on Sunday.

On to the next round, then. The letter is A.

Did you have some bad times with your hair back in the old days?

Good one, EH.
Forgive my ignorance, but I’m still at a loss as to why this was a two initial game. I don’t think that it was identified as such from the outset, and Johnny LA pointed out in the 2nd or 3rd post that the previous game here was single initial.

This was a one-initial game. Previous games were two initials.

Are you known for producing television series for ABC?

But it can be either the first or last name? My own experience with the game, we always played the last name initial.

No, I’m not Al D’Amato.

Correct.

No, I’m not Roone Arledge.

Not who I was thinking of.

IQ: Are you a musician who played jazz, and who has a ‘painful’ last name?

IQ: Are you famous for playing a lawman in love with the Town Whore?

Actually… Did he produce series for ABC? If not, then he doesn’t meet that criterion. I’ll defer to your judgement.

No, I’m not… Andrew Payne?

No, I’m not James Arness.

Who?

I thought he did, but I don’t know for sure. You may ask a DQ if you wish - who did you have in mind?

Aaron Spelling. Roone Arledge produced a sports show, but I don’t know/think he produced series.

DQ: Is ‘A’ the initial of your surname?
