Nerdy Trivia: January 27, 2026

Licking the batter off the beaters as a kid was a rite of passage, even though every adult warned us about raw eggs like we were playing Russian roulette with a mixing bowl. The finished product is almost secondary, but I'll still eat it like I'm Bruce Bogtrotter in "Matilda."

Musicians love their alter egos. Some use them to tap into confidence they don't normally feel. Others use them as a shield for their darkest thoughts. One rapper created an alter ego that became more famous than his real name. Slim Shady was the alter ego of which rapper?

50 years ago TODAY, “Schlemiel! Schlimazel!” became a TV handshake when "Laverne & Shirley" premiered in 1976!

The show followed Milwaukee roommates Laverne DeFazio and Shirley Feeney as Shotz Brewery bottle-cappers who treated every normal day like it was begging for slapstick. It ran for eight seasons and hit number one in the Nielsen ratings for the 1977–78 season.

Which TV show was it spun off from?

"Wonder Man" is dropping on Disney+ tonight, and I got a sneak peek at the first two episodes last week at The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision Live" event. The show is incredible (you should absolutely watch it), and there's no shortage of critics willing to tell you the same thing.

One of the best parts of the show is Ben Kingsley's performance as Trevor Slattery. If your brain is made of mashed potatoes like mine, that name might not immediately ring a bell, but understanding how this lovable character ends up as the conflicted mentor of "Wonder Man" will only help you enjoy the show even more.
