Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The pilot welcomed viewers into the world of a Glee Club and its misfit members. Which future member was introduced by being dumped into the trash receptacle by the cool football players?

Answer: Kurt Hummel

Kurt would later audition with the song "Mr. Cellophane" from "Chicago". His care for fashion was illustrated in this instance by asking to remove his jacket and bag before being thrown out with the garbage. Future glee member Finn gave approval for him to get his jacket and bag off.

While involved in the prank, he looked obviously uneasy. Later episodes confirmed that Kurt was gay. He was played by Chris Colfer.
2. Will Schuester only took over Glee Club when the staff member in charge left the position abruptly. Why was Sandy Ryerson no longer on staff?

Answer: Charged with sexual harrassment

Resident diva, Rachel Berry, told Principal Figgins that she saw Sandy touching a male student, although her motives were not so pure as she was apparently looked over for a singing role. She claimed that this was not why she ratted Sandy out. Sandy, played by Stephen Tobolowsky, told Will he was happy to out of the job. Later episodes told a different story.

He was now involved in distributing medical marijuana and gave Will a free sample.
3. Sue Sylvester was introduced as the main villain and cheerleading coach. What budget cut-back was shown in this episode to give cheerleading more money?

Answer: No coffee in the staff lounge

Apparently cheerleading went six hundred dollars over budget for a nutritionist. Sue attempted to make up for the lack of coffee by bringing lattes in for the staff. However, this could not overcome her poisonous personality and need to be superior. Principal Figgins explained that the club with the most prestige was given the largest budget. That would currently be cheerleading. Will chipped in sixty of his dollars to keep the glee club alive and taught detention for free. Sue on the other hand wallowed in the extra budgeting. Sue was played by the hilarious Jane Lynch.
4. As Will attempted to get the Glee Club off to a new start, what name change did he institute?

Answer: New Directions

Will thought it would get the kids excited about Glee, but most still referred to it as Glee Club. It also still carried the stigma as a place for low people within the high school 'caste system'. Gleeks is a name given to fans of the show. Matthew Morrison portrayed Will and has appeared on Broadway, including "Hairspray".
5. Rachel Berry always believed that she would be a star. What song did she sing for her audition and myspace page?

Answer: On My Own

"On My Own" is from the musical "Les Miserables". Rachel had trained for a role in stardom all her life by her dads. She always included a star next to her name. Her future stardom, which was apparent to her, has so far only earned her slushies in the face from the popular crowd. Rachel was played by Lea Michele, another Broadway veteran. "Rehab" was sung by a competing school, and "Don't Stop Believin'" came at the end of the episode by the entire club. "Take a Bow" came in the second episode.
6. Finn Hudson, as a football player, was one of the popular kids. Why did he initially join the newly formed club?

Answer: Will blackmailed him.

Finn learned to love to sing from his mother's ex-boyfriend but was only heard while in the gym shower. Will utilized the free marijuana sample from Sandy to blackmail Finn, threatening the possibility of losing a football scholarship. At the end of the show, Finn willingly took part in the club even without the threat of blackmail. Cory Monteith brought Finn to life for the small screen.
7. Along with his own football status, Finn dated an equally popular girl, cheerleader Quinn Fabray. What other group did Rachel mention Quinn was president of?

Answer: Celibacy Club

This established the cheerleaders as being great teases but advocating celibacy. In a later episode, Finn was shown also being a participant of the club. Rachel began in this episode to show a crush on Finn, setting up a love triangle. Dianna Agron, who played Quinn, was a cheerleader on the TV show "Heroes" as well.
8. One of the major dramatic points of the pilot was Will's decision to resign to pursue a better job. Why did Will make this decision?

Answer: His wife was pregnant.

Will and Terri's marriage was on the rocks when she made the announcement. She had previously tried to push him toward an accounting job, but now the baby was a more rational need for a higher salary. Terri commented in this episode that Will had been the 'golden boy' and she a cheerleader. They could perhaps be the future of Finn and Quinn. Jessalyn Gilsig is the actress behind Terri.
9. Without Will at the lead, the students took charge, dividing up the responsibilities. Which of the following are incorrectly matched with the responsibility they took on?

Answer: Kurt-Music

When Finn returned to the Glee Club, he became the leader that pulled everyone together. Rachel's personality had initially took charge but threatened to tear them apart. Kurt was not assigned any particular role. Finn claimed music. The stuttering Tina was guaranteed a role as soon as they learned how she was gifted. Broadway alumni Jenna Ushkowitz played Tina. Amber Riley played Mercedes. Artie was played by Kevin McHale.
10. Will was faced with serious doubt about his decision when he was shown a video of his own high school experience in the Glee Club. Who showed this recording to Will?

Answer: Emma

Emma, who had a crush on Will, noted how happy he was in the video. Will said that the pregnancy is the only other thing that had made him that happy. On that note, Will believed that he needed to support his family. Emma countered that a baby would need to learn to value pursuing a passion other than money. Will finally came back when he heard the kids singing, "Don't Stop Believin'". Jayma Mays played Emma.
