Yeah me!! First and second top 100 scores in one night

For some reason I thought it was John Wilkes Booth at first. Here's a hint: it's not.

Gee thanks ;)

I was thinking the same thing and I can't get it out of my head.

[8] Strange, I had thought that too. I had a "duh" moment when I realized who it actually was. But I'm not gonna reveal the answer and be a telltale.

Okay, thanks =)

No one asks for the answer. Just a nudge which way to go.

[11] I should donate my points to you... that was MOST excellent salt. ;)

It is not in the form of a question. You don't need the background to solve this one.

No? ;)

S-Words SABER!!!!

ugh... missed top 100 because of pluralization.

[17] It always is.

Must say, [11]... very nice salt.

Yay... I was happy I knew that guy without having to look anywhere. Good puzzle.

[17] I'm in the same boat. Grrrr....

[11] thanks good salt

hilarious!

I think you do Trebek, I think you do indeed....

I also thought it was booth.... Hey pepperhead, do you ask for salt alot? he he.

(is this less salty?) the answer might sound familiar to people who watch the background a lot

[25] Yes, much less salty... thanks. :)

Ugh! I was just talking about this guy today, and still couldn't figure it out right away. I guess it's been way too long since 9th grade English class (my teacher was a dead-ringer for the guy!).

thanks [27]

I don't hate this puzzle yet... but "random image searches without context" really suck. I have no idea who that grainy old photo is of.

[29] Go look at [11]... best salt we've got.

[30] then I'm screwed

[31] Especially its last word... take it to heart.

Well I got the name, got the first word, and still don't know what it is.

:~(

got it from the background picture. hopefully people know that the picture isnt actually from the show depicted in the picture.

[34] So that isn't Sean Connery?

I this puzzle would be the pits, but the pendulum swung, and I got the answer without much rantin' and ravin'.

oh well. I got it.

With the writer strike on, it seems that SNL shall nevermore have skits like that!

[35] It is supposed to be, but it isn't. If they find out hi is a Celebrity impersonator, he could be in Jeopardy, the buck futter.

Had the first half as soon as I saw it but the second half of the second part didn't click until I read [25], Thanks.

That was fun!

nice!

even though i have the first part i cant figure out what the 2nd part has to do with SNL

This was a fun one, enough salt to get me going but not so much I didn't have to use my brain. Thanks all.

I knew who the guy was right off, but it was [25]'s salt that put it together for me.

I'm glad most of you are having fun with my first contribution to Daily Fun - too bad I was away yesterday and didn't know it was going to be up until this morning... I think enough salt is out there, but if you really can't get it, wait for the hints - I think they're pretty helpful.

what do you mean by "salt"?

I'll take The Penis Mightier, Alex...

[46] Fun puzzle and awesome username, DoomDahDoomDoom.

[47] "Salt" is Tanga lingo for hints.

good puzzle, i gotta start signing in on time for these.

[47] Since you're new here (welcome!) you should check out the puzzler FAQ:

http://www.tanga.com/forum/blogs/980_PUZZLER_FAQS

It tells you about salt and all sorts of other puzzle goodness.

[43] The author could have used the actual gameshow in the background; this way is just funnier!

14 seconds, baby!

[8] I totally thought it was John Wilkes Booth, too! I have no idea why.

[11] gets the prize for awesome salt.

And I now know a whole lot more than I ever wanted to about that show. Taking [25]'s salt I read all the WP pages on the show, and eventually found the answer. (Hint: it's NOT on the main page for the show, so don't bother with that one.)

hrm. the first word was obvious to me, but I never would have gotten the second one without trusty ol google.

Thanks for the salt [11] - that gave it to me. I had no idea who that guy was..... And the background cinches it!

[11] cinched it. "I'll take therapists for a hundred Alex".

"An Album Cover"

Quoth the Raven: "If I had only known who the guy was I would've gotten it long ago."

"Japan-US Relations" FTW.

I wouldn't have ever gotten it if it weren't for the background. I recognized the old man right away because of a certain time traveling Venture Bros. episode. "His head is like a melon!"

[24] needed a lot of salt this past 7 or so days,

I was ready to blow my seeds the other night on the Hard OWW

wow, why do we all instantly think this guy was John Wilkes Booth? how strange...

I realized who it is after a minute, but I thought JWB at first too. Do an image search on him in google, and some of the pics look a heck of a lot like the one here, hand in the coat and all.

so funny. When I saw what the picture was in the background I knew what the answer was going to be before even looking at the actual puzzle. Was still fun though.

I think I would have preferred a teletubby

i know what it is, i just can't spell it?

[67] tele-what?

YEAH! 828th! Go me! :D

I read the 3 hints given above and still don't understand it. Now that it's two years later, perhaps someone could just explain the answer, starting with who the guy is.
