Politics

Other than on ceremonial visits, none of the Kennedy's made it to the White House in the 80's. But which vicepresident was definitely no Jack Kennedy?

Not that I understand the question or anything; I'm just going to muster up a guess and say George H. W. Bush. :biggrin:

I do understand that answer :lol: but it is not what I was looking for...

Ok, I really had no idea what you were talking about with that question, Hels, but when I searched for "Jack Kennedy" I actually found something. :lol9:

Would you be referring to Dan Quayle?

As I found that "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" was a famous phrase spoken by American Democratic vice-presidential candidate Senator Lloyd Bentsen to Republican vice-presidential candidate Senator Dan Quayle during the 1988 vice-presidential debate. Taken from wiki. :)

You don't remember that :)?


But then of course, Dan Quayle is one of my favourite examples of politics in America......
Spoiler:
I mean, just think about it: you live in the most powerful nation in the world. Anything your country does will directly or indirectly influence the lives of half or more of the people on earth.
Now, you're going to have to select 435 people who will play a major role in the decisionmaking process of that country. Luckily, you have about 218 million persons to choose from! So who do you elect (and reelect two years later)?
But wait...there is a more select body of 100 persons who also play a part. You're now up to 227 million candidates, and who do you elect...and again, six years later, with 13 million more choices...?
Finally, you decide that you need a chairman for those 100 wise men, somebody who is also qualified to become the number one decisionmaker in the country in case hiss boss gets shot in the theatre, walking down to his old college, going to a World Fair or driving past a book depository. With 244 million possibilities, your number one choice is.....?

Anyway, your answer is correct, so you're up :jossun:!

Well considering I was 8 during that presidential election, I didn't really have any idea what was going on nor did I have any interest in politics. :rotfl: I barely remember anything that happened when I was 8, let alone about the vice presidential debates. :winky:

Anyway, let's try this:

Television

Which popular game show host's first television appearance was as one of the first contestants called on a 1980 episode of the Price is Right? And when did he/she begin their role in the one they still hold today? :)

I'd say Vanna White but she isn't really the host of the game show. She became, however, the "letter-turning assistant" to Pat Sajak in Wheel Of Fortune on Dec. 13, 1982.

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE
 
Thats who I was looking for! Well she's an assistant host, anyway. LOL I couldn't very well say "letter-turning assistant." :rotfl: Like that wouldn't have given it away. :biggrin: Anyway, you are correct! :arms: Very well done!

:lol9: I guess not.


Television

What was the name of the character on the Fat Albert show who always wore the hat part way down his face?


(And just for the record although this show initially started running in the '70s it did carry over into the '80s.)
