Note: I’ve never actually watched this show, so answers 3 and 12 are based on my impression of it. Basically, while this guy is one of the stars of the show, he’s not the star.
Did Buzz Lightyear briefly go by this name? - Sid’s little sister dubbed Buzz “Mrs. Nesbit” for her doll tea party in the first Toy Story movie.
Did you win the unwelcome nickname “Commissary?” - Gen. Nathaniel Banks, from whom the Confederates captured a LOT of supplies.
Does a statue of you stand in Langley, Va.? - Nathan Hale, an early American spy, on the grounds of CIA HQ.
DQs:
On an American TV show?
Filmed before a live audience?
Comedy?
IQs:
Was your best friend and fellow lodge member a bus driver?
Did your staff have to change your stump speech when it was misinterpreted?
Did you rise from private to major general in just four years?
Max Bialystock is a character in “The Producers,” and was played by Nathan Lane in the film remake. Marion Crane got a room at the Bates Motel, owned by Norman Bates. The songs were by the Dixie Chicks, who had Natalie Maines as their lead singer.
I’ll reserve my DQs for a while; the new answers will require some thinking about.
Back safe and sound, thanks, and good one, SCAdian!
My other IQs:
Did your staff have to change your stump speech when it was misinterpreted? - Richard Nixon, campaigning in 1960, included the line “We can’t stand pat” in his stump speech until it was pointed out that his wife’s name was Pat.
Did you rise from private to major general in just four years? - Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate cavalry genius and later founder of the KKK.
