Holy crap, I blew it again. We're not even to the Reverse questions and I'm failing miserably.

Which leaves...

a Rather surprising answer, actually.

The Bus · 07-02-09, 11:46 AM

Wait, what? Only 8 fucking people? The man is a legend!

A legend!

Red Dog · 07-02-09, 11:46 AM

Thought Rather would do better given that so many hate him. I considered Cronkite but figured most of this crowd wasn't even born by the time he retired.

So there's a total of 8 smart people playing.

I thought for certain you would go with Cronkite.

Tracer Bullet · 07-02-09, 11:47 AM

Wow, that certainly was a bizarre round, wasn't it?

Let's take a Lucky Strike break, shall we?

Mmm... that's smooth.

The Bus · 07-02-09, 11:47 AM

Groucho · 07-02-09, 11:47 AM

Somebody post the SNL sketch of Dana Carvey as Brokaw, pre-recording all of the Celebrity death segments.

starman9000 · 07-02-09, 11:48 AM

Had Brokaw and changed to Rather, due to the hate factor like Red Dog.

Nice start anyway!

Venusian · 07-02-09, 11:48 AM

Glad I didn't go with Peter Jennings

Red Dog · 07-02-09, 11:49 AM

I guess nobody watches ABC. Nobody said Peter Jennings or Charles Gibson.

Groucho · 07-02-09, 11:49 AM

In retrospect Dan Rather would have been a good choice in the politics forum, not so much here.

I thought he'd do well since there were stories last week about him being in poor health, but I guess these days "A celebrity might die" doesn't really cut it. If only the CBS evening news with Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett had made it the full six months ...

I'm guessing this is due to Brokaw's Conan appearances.

macnorton · 07-02-09, 11:50 AM

No Charlie Gibson, I am surprised by that too.

Venusian · 07-02-09, 11:50 AM
