These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-11-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Red Smarties and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see

* Game 7, Round 4 - Entertainment - Jewish Comedians
In each case, we will give you their birth name and one of their
jokes, and you give us the stage name they're known by.
1. Joan Alexandra Molinsky: "A man can sleep around, no problem.
A girl makes 19-20 mistakes, she's a tramp."

although I am bringing a change of underwear."
