Father's Day Feud [game over]

[Personal]

@ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness

Ah, crud. I misread #5 as “2 or more”, not “more than 2”. As far as I know, Lennon had exactly 2 children. Hopefully someone else makes the same mistake so I get some points.

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.)

Are we going to lump “Bill Cosby” and “Heathcliff Huxtable” together? On the one hand, Huxtable is probably who most people were thinking of when they said Cosby, but on the other hand, he did play other roles, some of them fathers.

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.
