Clearing up a Quizzo Bowl Misconception

Johnny Goodtimes — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:20:59 +0000

Several people have asked me if the quiz is all about the Caribbean. No. Sorry if I didn’t make that clear enough. It will be a general knowledge quiz, like a typical quizzo, except slightly harder and a lot more fun. The usual: sports, entertainment, science, literature, humanities, etc. There will be 5 rounds, with an easy, a 50-50, a celebrity, a music round, and an impossible round. Might there be a few Caribbean questions? Maybe. Who knows?*

*Not me. If you think I’ve started writing the Quizzo Bowl questions already, you obviously don’t know me very well.

Keith Richards named one of his guitars after this character in David Copperfield based on Charles Dickens’s father. Who is that character?

The Most Parity Ever at this Year’s Quizzo Bowl?

Quizzo Bowl VIII Promo from Johnny Goodtimes on Vimeo.

There has been plenty of craziness at Quizzo Bowl over the years. But we haven’t had a lot of parity. Oh sure, we’ve had close matches (last year’s was determined by a point, Quizzo Bowl V was determined by one question, etc.), but so far we’ve only had 3 different winners in 7 years. That could be changing this year. For one thing, Lambda will not be playing. Yes, you heard right. Steve-O has a wedding to attend that day, and without his leadership, the team fell apart. Sofa Kingdom meanwhile, will be without two of their best players. Garbo will be in Brazil (don’t ask) and rumor has it that Kenney will be reforming his old team, the Hurtin Bombs. Don’t make any mistake, that team is so good that they’ll still be right in the thick of things (they finished 2nd at Quizzo Bowl IV without Kenney or Garbo), but it certainly evens the playing field a little bit. I am predicting a new winner this year. Will it be your team that reaches the heights of quizzo immortality?

On Tap for Quizzo Bowl Halftime? Breakdancing!

Johnny Goodtimes — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:56:35 +0000

We’re gonna keep the energy level high at this year’s Quizzo Bowl, with a breakdancing troupe from famed local dancer and choreographer Rennie Harris. Not quite Caribbean, but just a heck of a lot of fun. I kind of threw a few different halftime ideas past a few different people, and every time I said “breakdancers” their eyes lit up. So I’m pretty sure we’re going to have a lot of fun with this. Of course, there will also be performances from the Cavatino Calypso Band between rounds, and plenty of prizes to give away throughout the night. And yes, Fastball Bob will be in the building. For more info on the best quizzo event in the country, click here. I will have tickets for sale on me tonight.
