Ah yes, the first Quizzo Bowl. Ran a little long, but Nate Wiley and the Crowd Pleasers kept there from being a meltdown with their sweet soulful sounds. Johnny Cash impersonator The Man in Black did a great job kicking off the show, the bellydancer at halftime was a near disaster, and Where’s Johnny (aka The Champs) edged the Sofa Kingdom, then making their first JGT quizzo appearance. Anyways, here’s a few questions from the first big event.
- What did Vincenzo Peruggia steal in 1911, making him a national hero of sorts in his native Italy?
- Who are the only two players to win back to back Super Bowl MVPs?
- In what state did the Wounded Knee Massacre, take place in 1890?
- What fundamental discovery in the field of nuclear science did Sir James Chadwick make in 1932?
- What country do the Galapagos Islands belong to?
