Shownotes Transcript

Hey, hey, hey, it's your main man, Jimmy Fallon, and it is time to take the quiz. This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out. Five days a week, it's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Question one. Jennifer Lopez was born in what borough of New York City?

Queens? The Bronx. That is right, the Bronx. Question two. The New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers are the NFL teams that have the most Super Bowl rings. What athlete has more Super Bowl rings than either of those franchises? Michael Jordan. Tom Brady.

That is Tom Brady. How you doing so far? We're two questions in. Are you demoralized? Do you feel like you're going to turn it around? Are you two for two and you're feeling overconfident? Don't be. We're not there yet. Let's go. Question number three. In 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first two people to walk on the moon. Who was the third astronaut on the Apollo 11 mission? I don't know. I should know this. Fred Rogers. I don't know. What? What?

The correct answer is Michael Collins. There you go. Question number four. Prior to reaching stardom, late actor Chadwick Boseman was amongst a handful of students accepted into a summer acting program at the University of Oxford. Boseman and his classmates could not afford to go. But as luck would have it, his tuition was paid for by a screen legend. Who was it? Robert Downey Jr. or something like that. Bill Cosby. Tom Hanks. Oprah.

Good luck with this one because I don't know. But now I do because they put the answer in front of me. And if you guessed Denzel Washington, you would be correct. Play, share, listen. Question five is next. Pull up a chair and join me, Rachel Campos Duffy. And me, former U.S. Congressman Sean Duffy, as we share our perspective on the discussions happening at kitchen tables across America.

And now the moment. This is the matchup the crowd paid to see. The big payoff. The Hollywood ending. All the fun stuff. Here we go. Question number five. Who was the play-by-play announcer for the Chicago Cubs on WHO radio in Des Moines, Iowa from 1933 to 1937? Hint, they didn't win the World Series during that decade or most decades.

Bob Hope. Cussell. Babe Ruth. I don't know sports. The answer was Ronald Reagan. The Gipper. How'd you do on the quiz? Either way, you can always try again tomorrow.

If you blew it, if you went five for five, we'll be back to crush your confidence tomorrow. If you were terrible, you can always turn it around tomorrow. As Annie once said, the sun will come out tomorrow, which is not true. Annie was a good person, but a terrible weather person. But that being said, it'll be shiny waiting for you right here on The Quiz. So take it every weekday at thequiz.fox.
