	Bonus answers, you mean...

	HollywoodLeo:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 19:33 GMT	6 points
	Yeah, bonus answers. Although I was just joking when I punched in the 2nd one. I forgot he guest hosted and wasn't actually expecting to get anything.

	startrekempress:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 19:51 GMT	7 points
	I've found 10 bonus answers so far ... I'll decline to try and find any more! :)

	Buddha:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 20:36 GMT	2 points
	And Katie Couric?

	Buddha:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 20:40 GMT	0 points

	i'm not american and know very little about US-local tv, so i'm quite proud that i still got the 1992-... one

	springmom:	Jan 23rd, 2009 at 23:08 GMT	8 points
	No one will ever even come close to Carson as host.

	How am I as a baseball fan supposed to know Jack Paar spelled his name like a witch would,burn him at the stake! Ok,I calmed down,I put "Parr" then "Jack Parr" then typed in "are you sure?"

	grant:	Jan 24th, 2009 at 02:50 GMT	4 points
	@bunny: insulting people is wrong, but if you're going to, at least spell the insult correctly. your first insult has an "o" not an "e." ps. don't pledge usa if you're going to act like that, please.

	Tapestry:	Jan 24th, 2009 at 20:10 GMT	2 points
	I put in Jack Parr and it didn't register. Boy if you can't spell your in deep trouble around here.

	TheKeymaster:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 11:41 GMT	0 points
	I only missed Jack Lescoulie and Al "Jazzbo" Collins. There's no way I ever would have gotten those.

	drn211:	May 7th, 2009 at 19:33 GMT	3 points
	For prosperity the bonus answers are...Conan O'Brien, Grouch Marx, Mort Sahl, Joey Bishop, Joan Rivers, John Davidson, Bob Newhart, David Brenner, Gary Shandling, David Letterman and Jerry Lewis. I image that come June 1st Conan will be bumped up from bonus answer to regular answer.

	I'm gonna miss Leno's economy jokes: the economy is so bad that I saw Emeril open a can of Chef Boyardee; the economy is so bad that Wolfgang Puck uses a George Foreman grill; the economy is so bad that Wolverine had to take a 2nd job at Fantastic Sams...

	zertrudetrout:	May 31st, 2009 at 18:32 GMT	3 points
	Surely Trevor Macdonald is the most obvious answer?

	smreidy113:	Jun 3rd, 2009 at 21:23 GMT	1 point
	Nice timely placement of Conan. Bravo.

	zertrudetrout:	Sep 3rd, 2009 at 13:01 GMT	1 point
	That's it US users, come across a joke you don't understand and vote it down...

	lazeeeyes:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 05:55 GMT	2 points
	And now with Leno's prime-time show getting axed and going back to late night, I can't wait to see how the shows get rearranged more than a month from now. Maybe this quiz will get an update by then.

	easwc2:	Feb 2nd, 2010 at 06:09 GMT	2 points
	I'm with Coco.

	86Mookie:	Feb 5th, 2010 at 18:42 GMT	1 point
	Conan did make it to 2010.

	alaric1224:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 22:27 GMT	2 points
	Can you accept "Jackass" for Jay Leno, please.... THANKS.

	alaric1224:	Mar 4th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT	2 points
	Also, Jay Leno should say 2010-present and Conan O'Brien 2009-2010. He didn't host an entire year but he did host in both 2009 and 2010.

	jacobf:	Aug 19th, 2010 at 17:09 GMT	1 point
	Interesting fact: Joey Bishop actually hosted more episodes of "The Tonight Show" than Conan O'Brien.
