These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2019-07-08,
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 Unnatural Axxxe and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2019-01-22 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 7, Round 4 - History - Famous Broadcast Quotes
Here are some famous broadcast lines -- in one case in the context
of a movie -- that have made history over time. We'll give you
the line and ask a related question.
1. "Oh, the humanity!" Broadcaster Herbert Morrison famously
exclaimed this at what event?
2. "Someone stop this senseless slaughter!" With those words,
Howard Cosell gave up forever on broadcasting boxing. Name
*either* of the fighters.
3. "Do you believe in miracles?" Sportscaster Al Michaels said
this in 1980 in reference to which event? *Be specific.*
4. "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?" American
lawyer Joseph N. Welch said this to which politician in 1954?
5. "I am jumping out of character to tell you the preceding has
no further significance than as the holiday offering it was
intended to be: the Mercury Theatre's own radio version of
dressing up in a sheet and jumping out of a bush and saying
'Boo!'" Name that famous broadcast.
6. "You had an option, sir." This line was the knockout blow in
a Canadian political debate. Name *either* the person who said
it in 1984, or who he said it to. But you must specify which
question you are answering.
7. In October 1970, the late Tim Ralfe said these words on CBC to
the Prime Minister. "At any cost? How far would you go with
that? How far would you extend that?" What was the response?
8. In the movie "A Hard Day's Night", a reporter asks Ringo,
"Are you a mod or a rocker?" What does Ringo say he is?
9. In a November 1992 speech at the Guildhall, Queen Elizabeth II
referred to that year as "not a year on which I shall look back
with undiluted pleasure." What famous nickname did she then
give to that year?
10. King Edward VIII took to national radio in 1936 to abdicate
his throne with the words, "You must believe me when I tell you
that I would not have been able to carry the heavy stress of
responsibility and to do my duties as King, as I would wish
to do, without the help and support of the woman I love."
*Name that woman.* First and last name required.
* Game 7, Round 6 - Entertainment - Reality TV
It's not reality, but a staged, cheaply-produced version of reality.
And the genre is approaching 20 years onscreen. In each case,
name the show.
For questions #1-6, we'll give you either a catchphrase or some
regular segments on the show.
1. "The tribe has spoken."
2. "Will you accept this rose?"
3. Restaurant challenge, Mystery Box.
4. Head of Household. Back door. Power of veto.
5. "I don't know, dude. That sounded kind of pitchy to me."
6. "You are the last to arrive, and I'm sorry to say, you have
been eliminated."
For #7-10, name the shows on which these people were regulars.
7. Willie Robertson, Phil Robertson, Jase Robertson.
8. Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, John Legend.
9. Rick Harrison, Richard "Old Man" Harrison, Austin "Chumlee"
Russell.
10. Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Julianne Hough,
Mel B.

They went on to win the gold medal, but *not* that day.
3 days after the original game, GSN's quite badly named "Best

On the show, everyone got it right.

Future Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said it to then Prime Minister
John Turner.
When Pierre Trudeau retired, Turner came out of his own retirement
from politics to win the Liberal leadership and thus the position
of prime minister. But he promptly made the mistake of calling for
a quick election even though the Liberals were falling out of favor
with the public at the time. Now, before his departure, Trudeau had
arranged a number of patronage appointments, and Turner decided he
had better execute them before the election, presumably in order to
get Liberal supporters into these positions while they still could.
But at the debate with Mulroney, Turner was asked why he rubber-
stamped the appointments, and instead of a acting like a politician
and saying something like "In every case they were the right choices
for the jobs; thorough consideration had already been given", he
*got flustered* and said "I had no option". And hence Mulroney's
devastating reply.
I think Mulroney and the PCs were always going to win the election
in any case -- heck, *I* even voted for them that time -- but after
this happened, it was a certainty.
