Luke Cage, hero for hire, was one of the first black super-heroes in the Marvel universe.
Luke Wilson is the only member of the Frat Pack – which also comprises Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Steve Carell and Ben Stiller – not to have won an MTV Movie Award.
Andy Serkis’ acceptance speech (as Gollum) for the 2003 MTV Award for Best Virtual Performance won the 2004 Short Form Drama Hugo Award.
Andy Serkis costarred as Gollum in the first Hobbit movie, released in late 2012, and also did some second-unit directing work for Peter Jackson.
Andy Serkis portrayed real life English pedophile and murderer Ian Brady in Longford, a (very very good) HBO movie about the odd friendship between MP Frank Pakenham, 7th Lord Longford, and Brady’s imprisoned girlfriend and co-murderer Myra Hindley.
General Sir Edward Pakenham, commander of the British forces at New Orleans, died in the battle and was shipped home in a barrel of rum.
Nelson had similarly been shipped home in a barrel of brandy.
Knowing the British sailors, both barrels likely had to be under heavy guard for the trips home.
The first rum distillery in the British colonies of North America was set up in 1664 on present-day Staten Island.
“Tapping the Admiral”, meaning to take a small drink, comes from the (unsubstantiated) story that the barrel holding Nelson’s body was found to be almost empty of brandy when it was opened.
Back on game: Jack Paar once told a story in which his granddaughter visited him and his wife in New York City and told him they’d seen a “fairy.”
“What did it look like? Did it have wings?” he asked.
She said, “No, it looked like a boat.” (She’d seen the Staten Island Ferry.)
Oscar Levant was a frequent quest on Jack Paar’s Tonight Show. Jack would frequently sign off with “Good night, Oscar Levant, wherever you are.”
In The Odd Couple TV series, Felix and Oscar live at 74th St and Central Park West. This is mentioned in the episode where Oscar wins a car on the radio from Dick Clark. The pair actually state the address, and the scene where they win the car is filmed outside the San Remo apartment building, which is actually located on Central Park West, between 74th and 75th streets in Manhattan. Their address is also mentioned several times as being 1049 Park Ave.
Off-game:
Was a geas involved? what was the prize if you found him? 
On-game: There have been three popes named Felix, and two antipopes.
Pope Pius X11, elected in 1939, was the first Roman to be elected pope since 1730.
Roman Polanski directed and starred in the film The Tenant, where he played an expatriate who rented an apartment after a woman tried to commit suicide by jumping out a window. The film uses similarities to Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby to mislead the audience as to what exactly was going on.
Rosemary Clooney – George’s aunt – would perform annually at the Rosemary Clooney Music Festival in her hometown of Maysville, Kentucky.
Debby Boone, the daughter of Pat Boone and Shirley Foley Boone is married to Gabriel Ferrer the son of Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney, making their four children are the offspring of four famous acting and singing families.
He was OK, but Pope X-15 was much more technologically advanced.
In play:
Daniel Boone served three terms in the Virginia legislature during the American Revolution.

The first peanuts grown in the US were grown in Virginia.
The Planters Peanut Company, celebrating its 100th year in the city of Suffolk, Virginia, is that city’s largest single employer.
David Letterman once joked as part of a Late Night Top Ten List that the Planters Peanut’s first name was Keith.
James Barry Keefer, using the stage name of “Keith,” had a minor top 40 hit with “98.6” in 1967.
