The original host of "American Bandstand" was Bob Horn and aired in 1952 as a local Philadelphia TV show. Dick Clark took over in 1956 and it aired on ABC the following year. It was considered quite a gamble as "rock and roll" music was considered by many to be "dreadful" and even "evil".

The final show with Dick Clark was in 1987, but a new host took over named David Hirsch. This was displayed on the USA network and only lasted 2 more years.

"Namaste" is a Sanskrit word thats meaning can be interpreted slightly differently, but its basic definition is "I bow to the divine in you." It comes from the teachings of Krishna.

It can be a greeting in which you are paying respect to whomever you are talking to and is usually spoken with one's hands pressed together over their heart.

Answer: Rosie O'Donnell

In an episode of the Rosie O'Donnell show, Tom Selleck appeared as a guest, in part to promote his new movie. Rosie had made it very known that she was against the use of guns in this country as she publically reported statistics of how many children are killed by guns each year. Rosie is the founder of the "For All Kids Foundation". Tom Selleck was a supporter of the NRA and the interview seemed to go awry as it became a heated argument between them. Whether or not this was completely spontaneous remains in doubt because there are rumors that this was discussed between Tom and Rosie before the show.

Answer: James Bond

The character of "James Bond" (007) brings to mind either Sean Connery or Roger Moore, for most people. In more recent years, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Bronson have also starred as "James Bond." However, in 1969, the producers of this film could not get Sean Connery and found an Australian model named George Lazenby to fill the role.

This was right in the middle of Sean Connery's success as "Bond", but the film still did surprisingly well. However, the critics were pretty tough on George Lazenby and it remained his sole "Bond" performance as 007. Sean Connery picked back up where he left off in the 1971 film, "Diamonds Are Forever".

Answer: Pepsi

"Pete Dionasopolis" was a Greek immigrant that ran the Olympia diner. No matter what anyone ordered, such as a pastrami on rye with a coke, Belushi's response would be "No pastrami, no coke... only cheeseburger, Pepsi". He would often get extremely animated and yell "Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi".

Answer: No

Walt Disney died on November 16, 1966 after his circulatory system collapsed. He had been hospitalized on and off since November 2, 1966. Worldwide speculation was that Walt Disney was active in cryogenics research and was stored away somewhere in a deep-freeze chamber.

However, several organs were removed from Walt Disney after his death for microscopy studies and the surgeons have stated that they could never be put back where they belonged. His daughter, Diane wrote this in 1972: "There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that my father, Walt Disney, wished to be frozen. I doubt that my father had ever heard of cryonics." While nothing is completely proven, it seems that Walt Disney was cremated.

The urban legend remains a legend and Walt Disney is not frozen. (Quote provided by Snopes.com)
