Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the Jefferson's son's name?

Answer: Lionel

Lionel was played by two different actors. First, Mike Evans reprised his role when the show spun-off from "All in the Family" in 1975. He was replaced the following season by Damon Evans (no relation), who portrayed Lionel until 1978. Mike Evans returned to the show in 1979.

2. Who was the wacky neighbor who lived in Apartment 12E?

Answer: Mr. Bentley

Mr. Bentley, the quirky Englishman, was an interpreter at the U.N. for the first few seasons. His character was then transfered to U.N. duty in the Soviet Union. A few years later, Mr. Bentley was back in New York, pestering George Jefferson. Paul Benedict played the role with perfection.

3. What was Mother Jefferson's favorite drink?

Answer: Bloody Mary

She drank Bloody Marys 'because tomato juice has lots of vitamins.' When Louise asked her why she needed the vodka, she replied, 'because it helps me digest the vitamins.'

4. What was the doorman's name?

Answer: Ralph

George was always paying him to fend off unwanted guests. Portrayed by actor Ned Wertimer.

5. What was the name of the family who owned the building where the Jeffersons lived?

Answer: Whittendale

George was always trying to get on Mr. Whittendale's good side. It turned out that it was MRS. Whittendale who had all the money. Mr. Whittendale actually changed HIS name when he married her. She couldn't stand George, especially after he accidently let her Doberman, Poopsie, jump off the twelfth floor balcony.

6. Tom and Helen Willis were the mixed-race couple that lived upstairs. What animal did George mention when he referred to their marriage?

Answer: Zebra

He didn't want Lionel to marry their daughter, Jenny, because he didn't want his 'grandkids growing up to be half-zebra.'

7. Helen Willis was played by Roxie Roker. Who is her real-life, hard rocking son?

Answer: Lenny Kravitz

Sadly, Roxie Roker died in 1995 from breast cancer.

8. What did Florence, the maid, constantly pick on George about?

Answer: His height

She picked on him about being bald a lot also.

9. What branch of the military did George serve in?

Answer: Navy

George worked in the galley on a Navy ship during the Korean War. He also boxed while in the service.

10. What President did George try to call at the White House when he found out he was going to be in town that week?

Answer: Jimmy Carter

He wanted him to come to dinner. The White House responded by sending Secret Servicemen to the Jefferson's apartment to investigate George after he threatened Carter over the phone.
