Category Three: A live anthology series: Playhouse 90: 2 (GS, JD) Alcoa Hour: 1 (CB) Celanese Theatre: 1 (KMW) Kaiser Aluminum Hour: 1 (RT) Secret Files of Captain Video: 1 (JWh) US Steel Hour: 1 (JWr) Incorrect (4): Adventures of Ellery Queen: (AS (tossed)) Saturday Night Live: (BN) 20/20 Downtown: (DJB (tossed)) These were counted incorrect because they are not anthologies. The first had starring leads (Ellery and his father), and the others are a different breed of TV altogether. The IMDb entry on "The Secret Files..." seems to disagree with itself about whether or not it was an anthology, so I've decided to err on the side of allowing it. Category Four: A Saturday Night Live regular, one season or less: Kevin Meaney: 2 (AS, RT) Chevy Chase: 1 (DJB) Joan Cusack: 1 (CB) David Koechner: 1 (JWr) Gail Matthias: 1 (GS) Harry Shearer: 1 (KMW) Martin Short: 1 (JD) Damon Wayans: 1 (JWh) Incorrect (4): Chris Rock: (BN) SNL's slightly odd casting structure called for a bit of flexibility in accepting answers. Yes, Harry Shearer made a few minor appearances during the original cast's last season, but he was only a regular during the '84-'85 season (and I was in that sort of a slightly pedantic mood when I replaced Denny Dillon with him). Kevin Meaney was never a "regular", but he was what he was for less than a season, so I'm accepting it. Chris Rock, though, joined as a full cast member in the fall of 1990 (with that other Chris, Farley) and didn't jump ship for "In Living Color" until the fall of 1993. Category Five: An alien (neither human nor droid) from any of the "Star Wars" films. All the answers here were unique: Boss Nass (KMW), Bossk (GS), Chewbacca (DJB), Fode Annodue (CB), Greedo (AS), Nien Nunb (JWh), Plo Koon (RT), Sy Snootles (JWr)... Incorrect (4): C3PO: (JD (tossed)) Widget: (BN) While there was an Ewok named Wicket, the only reference to "Widget" I could find anywhere was a droid in a comic. [continued next post]
