Last weeks question proved to be a little tougher than my first one. While it didn't take long for the right answer to be deduced, it did take a good amount of teamwork. I was, however, surprised to hear about the alleged lawsuit that decided Trapper John MD was a spin off of the movie M*A*S*H and not the show.
In any event I received a great trivia question from "elf" that goes like this, "Can you name anyone who has won the grand prize on the original Gong Show who later went on to be nominated for three Oscars?"
This one took some thinking but I'm pretty sure the answer is Danny Elfman. His original band ,The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo (later shortened to Oingo Boingo), won the grand prize on the ol' Gong Show and he then went on to be nominated for Oscars for his scores to Big Fish, Men in Black and Good Will Hunting. Excellent question, elf.
This weeks question is for true TV fans only ...
What is Keith Partridge's middle name?
It's that simple. Please feel free to answer in the comments section. The first correct answer will get their name plugged below in this post later, and the satisfaction that comes with being a member of the King's court.
Also if anyone has a trivia question that they think will stump me or just really need to know the answer to, go ahead and let us know.
A new record was set by Tammy who only took 12 minutes to send in the correct answer. Well done Tammy. Stay tuned for next weeks question.

Ah, more proof indeed that nobody can stump the King. I tip my hat to you Paul. I certainly did have Elfman as my answer, though I had to word it open-endedly just in case there were others who could somehow fit both criteria. Plus it's nice to know that appearing on the Gong Show wasn't quite the impediment to a successful career that Chuck Barris made it out to be. (Now if only Elfman would get off his kiester and get the old band back together. It'll be twelve years next Halloween since he retired Oingo Boingo, and hey, if the Police and Genesis can do it...)
