"I win again! You are player number 23to have chosen sargent Phil Silvers from Sergent Bilko. I knew you were sargent Phil Silvers from Sergent Bilkofrom the start, but I strung you along for a while to make it seem more sporting. I hope that one day you will overcome the powerful sense of humiliation that you now feel. Until then, good luck."

With someone YOU'VE never heard of either:

Spring Byington who starred in "December Bride"

Spring Byington was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and got her acting start on stage in Denver with the Elitch Garden Stock Company. After a stint on Broadway, Byington started a long film career in 1931 with the starring role in Papa's Slay Ride. During the late 1930s, she played “Mrs. John Jones” in the popular Jones Family comedies that began with Off to the Races in 1937 and ran through 1940’s On Their Own. In 1954, she starred as “Lily Ruskin” on the TV series December Bride and from 1961-63 she played the role of “Daisy Cooper” on Laramie. Among her other films were Stage Struck, Jezebel and Please Don't Eat the Daisies...

22. I LOVE Spring Byington!

Years ago I worked at the University of TX at Autstin, in the MBA student services center. Part of my job was taking calls from people who wanted applications; I'd take their name and address and send them out a packet. One day a kid calls up and gives his name as Something-or-other Byington, and I said "Oh, like Spring Byington." Turns out the kid was her grandson. I told him how much I'd always enjoyed her work, and he told me what a sweet, wonderful woman she was. Just like you'd imagine she'd be.

[PrestoChango]

17. Um... scary...

I was going through answering the questions as myself, ok? and at the end it says, "You are Jennifer from United States of America, right?"

Well, that is my name and where I am from.

Major coincidence.
