Good mix of people. I'm sure you will get people suggesting other valid answers for some clues, but I didn't find any, which surprised me. Timing set well... overall, good job.

Thanks, Golden. I think there must be some alternative answers too but I haven't thought of one yet.

Something about typing Mary Hart and seeing Karl Marx just made me giggle. Never again will those two share a slot, methinks.

Nice quiz: it was considerably more fun than I anticipated. I wondered if you had considered using OB [= the Georgia Peach] as a question.

It's probably for the best that you didn't put Anne Frank next to Adolf Hitler.

Definitely tougher than I thought when I started and got the first three without even thinking about it. I could've used another minute or maybe a vague hint (i.e. world leader, actor, athlete, writer).

Tougher than I thought it would be, kudos. That colour scheme is a pain on the old peepers too.

Maybe accept Kal Penn for "A EN"? The Harold and Kumar movies are way funnier than anything Jay Leno has ever done.

The first last name I thought of for
isne
was
Eisner
, and then I was confused because
al
didn't match
Michael
at all. It took me an embarrassingly long time to think of the name of the company he ran for twenty years....

Enjoyed it. A bit tricky. Got one with a different name: Mary Hart --- Karl Marx.

I'm not sure all of these are really world famous. Side note: I totally did the same thing as Q_Pheevr for that clue.

@Q-Phiever - I also, first thought of Eisner. What a curious symmetry.

"Some of these celebrities are probably short enough as it is." Next to the picture of Tom Cruise. Oooh, I see what you did there, Sporcle.

Should accept Matt Perry as well as Katy Perry really. Surprisingly hard!

I kept trying "Donald Rumsfeld", and couldn't believe that one didn't work. Clever idea, but harder than I thought.

I tried Matt Perry too, but it's a bit of a stretch. On the other hand, English singer-songwriter Sam Brown should be included -- it's short for Samantha, but I've never heard anyone call her that. On the "more of a stretch" side, Bloomberg Radio host Jane Williams was the first one I thought of for that clue.

And, unfortunately, you might also need to take Wade Page (Wisconsin Sikh temple shooter) for the Lady Gaga clue. Although a refusal to do so to avoid giving the louse any more ill-gotten fame would be fine with me.

Hitler? Castro? Marx? Bieber? The definition of "celebrity" has gotten pretty loose these days.

Regarding "Jaba Hutt" - the Yankees recently had a pitcher named Joba Chamberlain (actually still with them) who bore a strong physical resemblance to Babe Ruth, and was pretty overweight, leading to a nickname of "Joba the Hutt." Nice little coincidence.

Pat Brown would also work for Dan Brown
