You’re not alone.

I didn’t check Google for the factual questions – just to confirm that Jenner had kids pre-Kris. (Edit: was also thinking 2+ mothers instead of \>2, but Jenner fits there as well.)

I hope they get lumped together, because that’s how I intended it.

It’s going to be more complicated with Stave Martin. He played at least three different fathers: Gil Buckman in _Parenthood_, George Banks in _Father of the Bride_, and Tom Baker in _Cheaper by the Dozen_. So far we’ve had one person say “George Banks (Father of the Bride)” and one person say “Steve Martin (Parenthood)”. Okay, you can say those are two different characters. But suppose a third person answers “Steve Martin (Father of the Bride)” or just “Steve Martin”? How will you combine those answers for scoring purposes?

We’ve also had people already answer Jack Byrnes and Vito Corleone, both of whom were played by Robert DeNiro. Do we combine them?

Steve Martin will definitely be tricky. Cosby is easy, because I think he is only really known for one TV dad role. That’s why **ReBo** gets paid the big bucks to suss out these tricky issues!

Quite surprised Daddy’s Hands didn’t get any additional votes. It was a massive country hit for Holly Dunn. Pappa Don’t Preach is the one most here are remembering.
