@Jelle: I just did a quick search of "John Jackson" and there is a reasonably famous one, although he goes by another name--Fabolous. Also, the real name of the early MTV host, J J Jackson, is John J Jackson.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't necessary to type "Jackson" as part of the answer.

Fun quiz. But surprised you didn't include Scoop Jackson, prominent politician and frequent US Presidential hopeful in the 70s...and Keith Jackson, LONG-time sports broadcaster. Whoa, nelly!

If you score less than 50% a message should pop up saying "You don't know Jack, son."

@Bob91351 - Embarrassed that I didn't. Somehow coming after the previous director question, I read the clue for this one as looking for a director also. Duh. Got Mahalia, Shirley and Percy, though!

It was funny how the comments complaining of the sports being too US-centric were voted up - only to see them voted down when the yanks came online.

Was kinda hoping to see Colin Jackson in the sport section, a British hurdler from the late 80's/90s, he held the 110m world record for over 10 years and still holds the 60m record 16 years later.

@Hope: Jackson Rathbone was not Sokka "the meat & sarcasm guy", he was Soh-ka "the stiff guy who threw his boomerang once & otherwise accomplished nothing."
