Unbelievable

One of our history teachers was leaving early for a Twins game, so I took his third block Current Events class for him. They came up to my room to play their end of the week trivia game. For the final ten minutes of class I had an elimination round. If you got the question right, you could leave. If you got it wrong, you had to wait until we came around to you again. We were down to five guys (and the lone girl in the class, who was reading the questions). This one unbelievably stumped every boy in the class (several were hockey players, so if it doesn't pertain to Budweiser, what hope do they really have?), "What talk show host says her lawyers overreacted when they went after Patrick Crowe of Kansas City? She said, 'it could have been handled with a phone call.' Crowe was promoting her for president." The guys had no clue. I mean I don't watch much TV nor do I really care for politics, but even I know of only one female talk show host anyone would push for president. So we tried to help out the poor dolts.

"She's African American." No clues.

"She's one of the most popular people in the country." No ideas.

"She has THE talk show, named after her!" Zilch.

"She is known mainly by her first name." Nothing. (At least they didn't guess Cher or Madonna).

Finally, we both screamed "Oprah Winfrey!"

I didn't think it'd be that much of a stumper!
