Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which two-time Academy Award winner began to make ads for Boniva in 2006?

Answer: Sally Field

While all the choices above have been the recipients of at least two Academy Awards, Sally Field has been the spokeswoman for the brand Boniva (ibandronate Sodium) for the treatment of osteoporosis and to promote bone health since 2006. She has been an excellent agent for the drug since, despite the fact that she is well over 65 and has had a career spanning more than five decades, she continues to look like "Gidget" (1965-1966). Among her many awards: Best Actress Oscars and Golden Globe Awards for "Norma Rae" (1980) and "Places in the Heart" (1985), Primetime Emmy and SAG Awards for "Brothers and Sisters" (2009) and TV Land Favorite Airborne Character Award in 2005.
2. Which actor has voiced both the Simply Orange and Delta commercials?

Answer: Donald Sutherland

Why yes, it's President Snow himself - Canadian actor Donald Sutherland!
Sutherland (father of Kiefer) has had a film career for half a century, playing diverse roles as leading characters and supporting characters in movies like "Klute" (1971), "MASH" (1970), "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1978) and "Ordinary People" opposite Mary Tyler Moore in 1980, as well as "Animal House" (1978), "JFK" (1991) and "A Time to Kill" (1996).
Jon Hamm has done commercials for American Airlines.
Kiefer Sutherland voiced Intel ads.
David Duchovny has spoken for Pedigree.
3. Which automobile's ads have featured Matthew McConaughey?

Answer: Lincoln

Fortunately, they changed the old Lincoln Motor Company commercials where McConaughey seems to talk pointlessly and endlessly. They updated them in 2016 where we can just see his handsome face driving a Lincoln and listening to jazz on the car stereo. McConaughey had a breakout role in the 1993 movie "Dazed and Confused", and worked his way up to an Academy Award for Best Actor in "Dallas Buyers Club" in 2013.

He certainly has made driving a Lincoln look very attractive!
4. John Corbett's voice has been used in the commercial for Applebee's. What was the 2002 movie where John played the leading man?

Answer: My Big Fat Greek Wedding

John Corbett played the DJ on the great show "Northern Exposure" from 1990 to 1995, and went on to befriend Carrie Bradshaw on "Sex and the City". He then moved on to play Ian Miller, the boyfriend (and later husband) of Toula Portakalos in "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". John appears in the 2016 sequel "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2", but this time as the father of the main character. Applebee's is a restaurant chain founded in 1980 in Decatur, GA, whose Parent organization is IHOP.
"About a Boy"/Hugh Grant; "Insomnia"/Robin Williams; "Bowling for Columbine" directed by Michael Moore.
5. Which US presidential hopeful spoke up for Viagra?

Answer: Bob Dole

Bob Dole represented Kansas in both the House of Representatives (1961-1969) and the Senate from 1969 to 1996. Dole was the Republican nominee for vice president in 1976 on the ticket with Gerald Ford; they ran against Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale and lost. Dole ran for president in 1996 against Bill Clinton and again lost.

His ads for 'Depend' diapers and erectile dysfunction probably didn't help his political aspirations any. Viagra (sildenafil citrate) was a drug which was originally intended to help patients with high blood pressure.

While it failed there, it was a big help with erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
6. Which US celebrity chef has been parodied in the Victoza commercial to combat diabetes?

Answer: Paula Deen

Paula Deen is a celebrity chef and was a cooking show TV host on the Food Network. She lives in Savannah, Georgia where she owns and operates the restaurant "The Lady and Sons" with her two sons, Jamie and Bobby Deen.
Rachel Ray presents "30 Minute Meals".
De Laurentiis shows us "Giada at Home".
Ina Garten has been the "Barefoot Contessa".
7. Golfer Phil Mickelson has been the spokesman for which product for psoriatic arthritis?

Answer: Enbrel

All of the choices are medications advertised to reduce the signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis. Phil Mickelson has touted Enbrel since 2012, for help in keeping joint damage from getting worse. It is also a biologic listed as a treatment for plaque psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis.
Mickelson has won over 40 events on the PGA tour including Masters Championship titles, a PGA Championship and an Open Championship, all while suffering from the pain of arthritis.
8. Which real "Desperate Housewife" has done commercials about migraine headaches?

Answer: Marcia Cross

On "Desperate Housewives" (2004-2012) Marcia Cross played Bree Van De Camp. In real life Marcia has done a commercial about how to live with these crippling headaches. Did you know there are 28 million Americans who suffer from this debilitating problem, and that 75% of those are women? In the commercial, Cross goes on to talk about how migraines have hurt her life, and she shares her secrets for relieving the pain.

She addresses triggers, stress reduction and medication (like Relpax). The other choices from "Desperate Housewives" are: Eva as Gabrielle Solis, Teri as Susan Mayer and Felicity as Lynette Scavo.
9. Which former professional quarterback has done commercials for Sprint, Chevrolet, Circuit City and acid reflex (GERD)?

Answer: John Elway

Besides Sprint and Chevrolet and Circuit City, John Elway has addressed his issues with GERD. GERD stands for gastroesphageal reflux disease or heartburn. Elway, former professional quarterback and General Manager for the Denver Broncos of the National Football League discusses, in the commercial, the problem, potential risks and the use of proton pump inhibitors.

Other sufferers include: former Green Bay Packer quarterback Brett Favre, Bill Clinton and Ashlee Simpson (must be stressful to be Jessica Simpson's younger sister). Over-the-counter antacids like Alka-Seltzer or Pepsid can help with mild cases of GERD.
10. William Shatner has been the spokesman for Priceline commercials, but which celebrity actress has played his daughter in several of these advertisements?

Answer: Kaley Cuoco

Kaley Cuocco can be seen on the TV sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" as Penny who, on the show, has married science genius Leonard Hofstadter to become Penny Hofstadter. Did you ever notice that Penny was the only major character whose last name was never divulged? Anyway, she has been seen on Priceline commercials as the daughter of the ever-present spokesman, played by William Shatner whom you may know as Denny Crane or T.J. Hooker or James T.Kirk. The incorrect choices have also been on "The Big Bang Theory" with Carol Ann Susi as the late Mrs. Wolowitz, Melissa Rauch as Bernadette, and Mayim Bialik ("Blossom") as Amy Farrah Fowler.
