tape the show anyhow.
I flip to CTV.
Since when did Regis wear a Nashville Predator uniform and skate
up and down the ice at the Air Canada Center?
Oh crap.
Save me, ABC!
I taped CTV for after the game to see if they would show WWTBAM
in another time slot. They didn't, so this lacks the $300 to $500
for the returning contestant.
I guess I missed the opening bits of the show, turning in
as returning contestant Ben Wong questioned Regis about having
his mind in the gutter in response to Ben's reaction to this
question:
For $1000: What does Britney Spears wear in the "Hit Me Baby one

D) School uniform.
For $2000: What university has the exclusive rights to use Donald
Duck as is mascot?
A) Georgetown B) U. of Oregon
C) Notre Dame D) USC
He knows the nicknames of Georgetown, Notre Dame and USC, but he
doesn't know Oregon's nicknames. So he will call a friend, or in
this case, calls a Professor. Professor Martin is one of Ben's
history professors.
As time runs out: "I'll go with Oregon".
Final answer.
U. of Oregon. Home of the Ducks!
