New quizzo starting on Monday, March 22nd. Ok, so I won’t be hosting, but that is part of what will be fun about it, because I’m gonna try to play on some weeks. Mike Minion is going to start hosting a quiz on Monday nights at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. and the Westbury at 10:15 p.m. This will be his quiz, I’ll just be helping him promote it. In other words, he’s writing the questions. He’s telling me there will be a bit more cerebral questions and less pop culture than my quiz. (And I’m guessing that he’s going to be playing a lot of obscure 70s one hit wonders between rounds. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Gonna be interesting to see how it goes, but I’m excited to play.

Irish Quiz Bomb Next Week
Next week will be Irish Quiz Bomb Week at quizzo. All questions will be Irish related. Trust me, that will cover a lot of territory. I take “Irish” very loosely (i.e. there could be questions about Notre Dame, Boondock Saints, Lucky Charms, etc.) It’s gonna be fun.
However, there will be no quiz at the Black Sheep next week. If you think that we can pull off a quizzo at 8 p.m. at an Irish bar on St. Patrick’s Day, you’re nuts. All other quizzes are on, at least as of now. I’ll keep you updated, but as of now we’re on for the Rendezvous.
There will only be one group of quiz questions next week. Quizzo Bowl week is the one week of the year that Philly’s only true man of leisure can’t find a lot of time to create questions. The good news: Steak Em Up can only win once at the Bards next week. Thank God.

Quizzo Tonight
We kick it off at the Ugly American at 8 p.m. The joint has been jumping lately. Let’s keep it going tonight. If you haven’t been to quizzo lately because you can’t find a table, well, I’d suggest the Bards. Temple and Penn are on spring break right now, so it should be a great opportunity to snag a table. $2.50 Miller Lites and Lagers during quizzo. And of course I’ll be doling out free fries tonight. And I’d expect at least a couple of Corey Haim questions.
Reminiscing About Quizzo Bowls Past
This interview was done for the documentary, which was shot before Quizzo Bowl IV. In it, I talk about previous halftime acts and previous bands at Quizzo Bowl. Of course, WID didn’t work out so well at QBIV. Last year’s dragon troupe was a bit more successful, though they went on a little long As for bands, every year I’ve picked a winner. Black Elvis was awesome, and so was Haulin Oats. The West Philadelphia Orchestra will definitely continue that proud tradition. This year, Chip Chantry, Fastball Pitcher Bob Gutierrez, comedian Eric Todd and myself will be doing the halftime act. Could be a hoot…or it could be an epic disaster. There’s only one way to find out. I’ll have tickets on sale tonight.
Quizzo Bowl in the News
The media circus has begun! Scroll down to the bottom, right below the part about Wired 96.5’s Chio boxing, to read Dan Gross’s little write up on Quizzo Bowl VI. Chio, you might be a bigger star than me now, but this war between us is far from over! (Get your QBVI tickets tonight at quizzo.)
What a Feelin’!
For those of you who don’t think I can dance, think again. And when we dump all of the raffle tickets on the floor during Quizzo Bowl VI, now you’ll know why. It was a tradition started when one of the Hellcat Girls in Quizzo Bowl III grabbed the wrong bucket and dumped it on me. It was supposed to be the bucket with the glitter in it, not the bucket with the tickets in it. That’s why I am inexplicably covered in tickets at the end of this video.
Questions from Last Year’s Quizzo Bowl
Just to get you in the mood for Quizzo Bowl VI, I figured I would show you all the questions I asked last year. Yes, the questions at Quizzo Bowl are slightly harder than usual. I will have tickets for sale tonight.
Quizzo Bowl News and Notes
First of all, Quizzo Bowl tickets are moving fast. I am at almost 100 sold. Which means that if you have not already bought them yet, you should definitely do so this week. That includes the “regulars” (Sofa Kingdom, Lambda, Duane’s World, etc.) The buzz is spreading (It’s already up on Phillyfunguide and I am expecting press coverage next week.) I am expecting another sellout this year, so don’t wait until the day of to buy your tix, because there is a good chance they will be gone by then.
Here is the 5 minute guide to Quizzo Bowl, and here is the facebook invite. Also want to send a shout out to Owen, who designed this year’s Quizzo Bowl logo. I will have tickets on me tonight at quizzo.
