I got 11/20 and I am Canadian. I should be ashamed.

No, no, Margann: I got 2/20 and *I* should be ashamed, even though I'm not Canadian. Couldn't even get Doug Henning. *Sigh*

Thanks for allowing Prickley for Andrea Martin. I enter Doug Henning's name and my computer ...disappeared.

PS: For not including singer Chantel Kreviazuk, radio icon Peter Gzowski, opera singer Measha Brueggergosman, TV host George Stroumboulopoulos or the late Governor-General Ray Hnatyshyn, my keyboard thanks you.

@rockgolf: I had George on there originally, and swapped him out just for that fact. I couldn't even spell it right. I'm intrigued about the most guessed one.

@Chewy: Apparently, several PBS stations (oddly, not Buffalo) picked up The Red Green Show and it became quite the cult favorite in those cities. That show got bounced thru 3 networks in Canada before the CBC picked it up and made it a major hit. CTV showed it on Saturday afternoons without promotion and one episode was estimated to have been seen by a total audience of 150 people.

I assume it's also people just randomly guessing "Smith." I'm American and only got him, Doug Henning,and Elvis Stojko, although I would have gotten Scott Thompson if I'd remembered his last name. Other than Andrea Martin, I don't think I was aware of any of the other people's existence. OK, actually, I think I watched Hammy Hamster once.

This quiz was illuminating. I am VERY Canadian. I went to highschool with the actor who plays Harold on Red Green, shop at the same grocery store as Walter Gretzky, and have met Robert Munsch and Farley Mowat. Robert Munsch's "Love You Forever" is internationally renowned, although maybe his name isn't. BTW, Jeanne Beker spells her name like I just did - small correction. Enjoyed the quiz.

I was terrible at this game. I'm sorry to everyone who I didn't know. So sorry. *holds door for person walking past* *eats a Timbit*
