5 questions

1 point each

1. Who was named as People's Sexiest Man alive? Hint: His first name is Chris and he was in MCU movies. That really doesn't narrow it down much, does it? (fyi - the cover shown was from a few years ago, when I won)

2. I can't get enough of Ted Cruz being booed at. But just maybe a step too far, while on a Houston Astros parade float, a can of what hard seltzer was thrown at him?

3. New this week, and topping the NYTs HC NF list, is a book by what dead man as the author? Along with his widow and brother - it's titled Radio's Greatest of All Time - which is a great stretch IMHO.

4. Trivia is happening tonight in part because I didn't win the Powerball and jet off somewhere. In what state was the sole $2 billion Powerball jackpot ticket sold?

5. Florida is still cleaning up from Irma - but now there's a named TS that's expected to become a hurricane and make landfall tomorrow. What's its name?

MYSTERY ROUND

Stately Characters

I'll ask you about a fictional character that has a state as part of their name, just tell me who I'm talking about.

For example, if I asked who said “Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?”
You would answer Indiana Jones

I need FIRST and LAST names, please.

1. First appearing on the last episode of S7, who became the CEO of Sabre in S8 of The Office (US version)?

2. The official mascot of The WB from its inception in 1995 until 2005, what's the name of the character that's known to sing 'Hello my baby...hello my darling...'

3. The main protagonist in Point Break - who's known for woodenly saying [to Bodhi] "You crossed the line. People trusted you and they died. You gotta' go down."

4. The matriarch of Good Times, known for saying "Damn, damn, damn"

5. Pool hustler portrayed by Jackie Gleason

6. 'Say hello to my little friend!' (and no, it's not Mr. Roarke from Fantasy Island)
