> [@SunUp](#): > > Great guess, and great subject, complete with a last name tie-in to the previous subject! Shame I was out of contact this past round. Yes, that’s what I did. I thought of choosing Denver Pyle (Uncle Jesse from _The Dukes of Hazzard_ TV show) but then Missi popped into my head. On to I! IQs: 1. Did you win a Tony for appearing in _Wicked_? 2. Did you direct a memorable episode in the anthology series _The Twilight Zone_ in 1964? 3. Did you appear as yourself in an episode of _The Big Bang Theory_?
