This week’s contestant, Cody Strawn, was only able to answer one of the three questions correctly becoming the second consecutive contestant not to win.  He still invited everyone to join him in North Carolina on August 6th and 7th to join him in his 24 hour movie marathon.

Remember, Shawn Amos will be by each week to test someone’s Pop Culture IQ.  Next week could be you!

According to a  deadline.com article this week, Steve Carell, star of The Office said in a BBC Radio interview that he intends to exit NBC’s top comedy series at the end of next season when his contract is up.

Presumably, this move would pave the way for Carell to put all his focus on his movie career.

The transformation from TV star to movie star is a common one as well as a risky one.  Throughout history, we’ve seen careers built and careers flounder with this very maneuver.

In fact, just this week, the Radio Happy Hour welcomed back Amy and Nancy Harrington, the “Pop Culture Passionistas” of PopCulturePassionistas.com/ to share their lists of Top 5 Best (and Worst) TV Star to Movie Star Transformations.
