For purposes of the Question #6 Leaderboard, please write below a THREE-LETTER initialism you'd like me to use to track your entries. (You might choose your initials, but this is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - “The Munsters,” “Rehearsal,” “Connor’s Wedding,” “Honeymoon States,” and “Kill List” are titles of episodes of WHAT television show that have aired for the first time this year?

Question #2 - From 1999 to 2008, the U.S. Mint released commemorative quarters honoring each of the fifty U.S. states. Multiple presidents (or depictions thereof) are on certain of the quarters; for example, Mount Rushmore is depicted on South Dakota’s quarter. NAME the two presidents, in perhaps a technical sense, depicted on New Jersey’s quarter.

Question #3 - The Loud House, an animated television show that debuted in 2016 and airs on Nickelodeon, has been nominated for five GLAAD Media Awards and six Daytime Emmy Awards. The show centers on the alliteratively named middle child (and only boy) amongst the titular family’s eleven children, whose first name is WHAT?

Question #4 - Catherine Keener plays the novelist Harper Lee in a certain 2005 film. Other characters in the film include convicted murderers Richard Hickock and Perry Smith, investigator Alvin Dewey, and novelist Jack Dunphy. What is the FIRST NAME of the titular character of the film?

Question #5 - Give the LAST NAME of the environmental lawyer and author, accused by many of promoting vaccine misinformation, who on April 5th filed paperwork to run as a Democrat in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

Question #6 - The song “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)” serves an important part in the plot of the 1956 Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much; snippets of the song are also sung in the films Please Don’t Eat the Daisies (1960) and The Glass Bottom Boat (1966). What is the LAST NAME of the actress and singer who sung the song in each instance, as well as in the opening credits of a sitcom she starred in that aired from 1968 to 1973?

Question #7 - Julia Louis-Dreyfus (12) and Mary Tyler Moore (10) have been nominated the most times and second-most times, respectively, for Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. What is the LAST NAME of the actress and comedian who has nine such nominations, primarily for Maude and The Golden Girls (and not at all for the made-for-TV Star Wars Holiday Special)?

Question #8 - “The scene they went to witness would produce one of the most famous screen images in history -- [BLANK], in simple summer white, standing on a subway grating, cooling herself with the wind from a train below. But what sent [BLANK] into a fury was the scene around the scene.” What are the LAST NAMES of both individuals, a married couple, that are redacted from this quote describing a 1954 event?

Question #9 - The 2013 biopic Behind the Candelabra, starring Michael Douglas, concerns the last years of the life of WHAT person, who passed away in 1987, and that person’s relationship with Scott Thorson (played in the biopic by Matt Damon)?

Question #10 - What is the LAST NAME of the Italian conductor born in 1867 who was at times the music director of La Scala in Milan and the New York Philharmonic? Most famously to Americans, perhaps, he was the music director of the NBC Symphony Orchestra from 1937 to 1954. Among his many accomplishments, he conducted the world premiere of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Question #11 - What is the LAST NAME of the wide receiver, now a Hall of Famer, who played for the Indianapolis Colts from 1996 to 2008 and is in the top-five in NFL history in receptions and receiving touchdowns? His son, who currently plays for the Ohio State University, is widely considered to be one of the top receivers in college football as of today.

Question #12 - “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were.” This quotation, first made publicly available on June 26, 2015, has since been incorporated into many wedding ceremonies. What is the LAST NAME of the quote’s author?

Question #13 - Oh no! We misprint this newsletter! This newsletter is composed in part with questions that point to a false theme that should be ignored! Even worse, there may be similarities between some of the false-theme answers and some of the true-theme answers.

Look, there’s no use trying to determine who ignited this disaster. The true-theme questions, whichever they are, should lead you to three pairs of certain individuals. Each of those pairs has something in common with the other pairs. These three pairs happen to be half of the total number of such pairs that have this particular quality. NAME one of the missing pairs. (Your answer should be two people, and there are three possible pairs that will be marked as correct answers.)

[As a warning: Any answer to this question that mentions this newsletter’s false theme will not receive credit, even if the correct answer is also mentioned.]
