I thin I know 26 & 27, so I’ll wait until someone else gets us that far.
So far so good.
Yeah, question 27 is pretty obvious.
OK, another hint, as #4 is kind of obscure.
The answer is a winter holiday, but it is not Christmas.
Are we allowed to use the internet? I think I’ve figured out a few in the middle, could probably get more if I browse the IMDb to fill in the gaps.
Will have to wait 'til this evening, though.
Absolutely use the Internet. I had to use IMDB just to come up with the puzzle, because some answers I didn’t know myself until I looked them up.
And feel free to start from the middle and work your way backwards.

Nat King Cole
Ok I got that far
I also missed #4 there, although I do remember the episode. I thought Potter did some typing for Klinger because Klinger was deathly ill, not because of any holiday?
Great work!
Nat King Cole is incorrect.
I think there was an episode where Potter did Klinger’s job because of an illness, or maybe you’re conflating it with the episode I’m thinking about.
Remember the episode where Charles ran the mess tent?

Cheers
not sure what you’re asking for on 28
#4 is Boxing Day.
Otto got it.
24 is wrong, but you got right back on track with 25.
What I meant by 28 is that there was a holiday episode of Cheers. What was the title of the episode? (You’ll surely need IMDB for this.)
- Bing Crosby
I’m just going to give you the answer to #24, since #25 has been answered correctly. It’s Mel Torme
-
“Christmas Cheers”

Knot’s Landing

Joan Van Ark
Joan Van Ark is incorrect. This one may be a little obscure, so maybe a little hint is in order.
She was also in Spy Hard and Desperate Housewives.
Dude, Wikipedia says Nat King Cole!!
But you’re right - it’s probably 6 of one, half dozen of the other. And it makes more sense in the Television theme of the game that it’s that guy, as he was easily remembered from Night Court.

Very nice, ZipperJJ!
How did you do it without filling in the early 30s gap?
And what is the early 30s gap?
I used IMDB’s “character” search and looked for “polar bear” and went down (and up) from there.
I was thinking Jay Mohr for 35 but I am not sure. I can’t get the others.
