Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these actors on "Monk" is the oldest?

Answer: Tony Shalhoub as "Adrian Monk"

Ted Levine may play the old man, but he's actually younger than Shalhoub by more than four years. Here are their birthdates in order: Shalhoub (October 9, 1953), Levine (May 29, 1958), Howard (June 14, 1966) and Stanford (May 19, 1970).
2. Name the oldest Beatle.

Answer: Ringo Starr

Their birthdates in chronological order are Ringo (July 7, 1940), John (October 9, 1940), Paul (June 18, 1942) and George (February 24, 1943). Ironically, these are only the most famous band members. When "The Beatles" first formed, the band included Pete Best (November 24, 1941), and Stuart Sutcliffe (June 23, 1940). Ringo's 1964 fill-in, Jimmy Nicol was born August 3, 1939, making him the oldest Beatle ever, even if it was only for a short time.
3. Who was the oldest member of The Monkees?

Answer: Peter Tork

The Monkees was a fictitious band put together for a television show of the same name. It was by popular demand that they actually joined to form a real band. They became the American answer to "The Beatles," despite the fact that Davey Jones was British. Here are their birthdates; Peter (February 13, 1942), Mike (December 30, 1942), Micky (March 8, 1945) and Davy (December 30, 1945).
4. Which of the following Basketball Hall of Famers is the youngest?

Answer: Robert Parish

If the race always goes to the fastest, and the victory to the youngest, my money is on the Bulls. Robert Parish was born August 30, 1953. The second youngest would be George "the Iceman" Gervin of the San Antonio Spurs (April 27, 1952). The Celtica, Bill Walton, is close behind him though (November 5, 1952). Philadelphia's own Dr. J. was born on February 22, 1950.
5. Who was the oldest couple on "Friends"? (The oldest female is paired here with the oldest male - the oldest two actors were actually both female.)

Answer: Lisa Kudrow & David Schwimmer

While the oldest, Kudrow, was around for the Kennedy assassination, and the youngest, Perry, missed Woodstock by just two days; there is actually less than six years difference between them. The birthdates of the six are as listed: Kudrow (July 30, 1963), Arquette (June 15, 1964), Schwimmer (November 2, 1966), LeBlanc (July 25, 1967), Aniston (February 11, 1969) and Perry (August 19, 1969).
6. Which of these artists was the youngest performer on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"

Answer: Wayne Brady

"Whose Line" began in the UK, as a BBC program and developed quite a following in the US. The American version is hosted by Drew Carey (May 23, 1958), and regularly stars Wayne Brady (June 2, 1972), Ryan Stiles (April 22, 1959), Colin Mochrie (November 30, 1957), along with musicians Laura Hall and Linda Taylor.
7. Which of the Marx Brothers was born first?

Answer: Leonard "Chico" Marx

You might have noticed I left out one of the Marx brothers. I listed only the two oldest and two youngest of the brothers. "Groucho," whose real name was Julius Henry Marx, was born on October 2, 1890, making him the middle child. The birthdates of the others are as follows: "Chico" (March 22, 1887), "Harpo" (November 23, 1888), "Gummo" (October 23, 1892) and "Zeppo" (February 25, 1901).
8. Game shows have been with us almost from the very beginning of television, and several actors have made careers from hosting them. Can you guess which of these hosts is the youngest?

Answer: Chuck Woolery

Chuck Woolery was born March 16, 1941, making him the baby of the group. Richard Dawson is the oldest being born on November 20, 1932. Alex Trebek and Bob Eubanks were born on July 22, 1940 and January 8, 1938, respectively.
9. Which of the Duke boys is the youngest?

Answer: Byron Cherry as "Coy Duke"

The original Duke boys, Bo and Luke Duke were played, respectively, by John Schneider (April 8, 1954) and Tom Wopat (September 9, 1951), throughout the entirety of the series, except for 1982 and '83. In 1982 and '83, they were replaced by Byron Cherry (April 17, 1958) and Christopher Mayer (April 21, 1955) who played Coy and Vance Duke. "The Dukes of Hazzard" ran from 1979 to 1985.
10. Which of the following was the oldest actor on "Frasier"?

Answer: Kelsey Grammer as "Dr. Frasier Crane"

It probably won't come as any surprise to fans of the show "Frasier" (1993-2004), that Kelsey Grammer is the eldest of these four. He was born February 21, 1955. The show's oldest cast member was actually John Mahoney (June 20, 1940) who played Frasier's father, Martin Crane.

The other three are as follows: David Hyde Pierce (April 3, 1959), Jane Leeves (April 18, 1961) and Peri Gilpin (May 27, 1961).
