I had to look up what "roundball" meant.

I tried looking it up, and did not get basketball out of it. If the clue was bball, hoops, etc, Jordan would have been way more obvious.

I agree with that- poor clue. Missed the Jordan "clue" and Howie Mandel. Almost missed Gandhi- kept spelling it wrong, but got it in the end.

Maybe that's the point - the question is really asking whether you know what roundball is. I didn't.

You should accept alternate spellings for Carville. I'd at least give it to anyone who types Carvil or Carvill.
+1
Level 84

A guy like Carville is someone people are likely to have heard about, not necessarily read about. Therefore, it is very likely that many who actually know the correct answer will have difficulty spelling his name precisely. I agree that some latitude should be given here.

Especially since you need to misspell Telly Savalas' last name in order to precisely match what this quiz has for the correct answer.

I re-checked, and "Savalas" or "Terry Savalas" would have worked, in addition to a number of misspellings.

For that matter, you could accept "Ragin' Cajun".

That was great. Got 'em all but James Taylor. Couldn't think of his name to save my life.

How the heck did I get the Letterman and Dr Phil questions? They don't show that stuff outside of America... thankfully. :) Shoulda got George Foreman though.

I know that Telly Savales is the original Kojak, but Ving Rhames played a modern version of him as well, and is also bald. Can you please accept Rhames as an alternate answer or change the clue to fit the original TV series?

Can you accept 'R-u-s-s-e-l-l' for 'Jordan'?

I see the r-d, but not the B-i in the accepted spelling.

It's really generous of you to accept "Lama" for the Dalai Lama, but just so you know, that's just the least-exotic part of a two-word title. It's sorta like looking for the answer "President Rutherford B. Hayes" and accepting "president".

Not really. There are tons of presidents. How many lamas are there?

All I could think of for "severely myopic cartoon character" was Hans Moleman.

I clicked on this quiz thinking it said "bad people," so I was very surprised to see the Dalai Lama as the first answer.

I knew it was the writer, the Ragin' Cajun, seen in commercials, but could not come up with his name in time.

Hahaha I got Larry David early because I typed him for Seinfeld's best friend. I was thinking real person Seinfeld instead of character Seinfeld.

TV psychologist clue is a little vague. Kelsey Grammar aka Frasier would also fit the clue as written.
