I think guest-hosting should count.
I also think "Phil Hartman's character" should count.

guest hosting is hosting. the question didn't ask for someone with their own show.

Tracer, you were right before all these losers chimed in. Don't listen to them.

I count Tracer Bullet as hosting this even though the Bus is the real host.

This is an excellent point, actually.

Wrong answers on Question 11 are actually worth...

51 Points.

Ouch!

Guest hosting should count.

You guys forgot:



I mentioned him in the last thread on hosts, so I decided to not answer it this time, just in case.

So no one said Leno, Letterman, Ferguson, Kimmel, or Jon Stewart?

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2
Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer. This penalty is multiplied by the Lightning Round Multiplier.

I still say my answer wasn't wrong though

2 points above the most-common answer multiplied by 3.

Usually, it would be 15 + (2 * 3) == 21 point penalty.

not

The latter is simply too brutal.

But ultimately it's up to you.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2
The most popular answer has already been multiplied by 3, so you're essentially multiplying it by 9. If you want to think of it that way, it would be (5 + 2) * 3.
