Jason Sadler of iWearYourShirt.com played this week and won.  He got the first two questions correct.  He didn’t know the third, but all he needed was 2 out of three.  He was playing as a fill in for his t-shirt buddy, Evan White.  If you remember last week’s Pop Culture IQ, Evan failedmscl_ so miserably during  that was invited back this week but was unable to play at the last minute due to “pre-hab” on his soon to be surgically repaired leg that he messed up while sky diving.

Jason, who was wearing a t-shirt for Jason Hamlin, a man trying to raise awareness for kidney disease and to get a new kidney himself, won a DVD of the TV series My So-Called Life courtesy of Shout! Factory.

Here is this week’s Pop Culture IQ brought to you by Shout! Factory as heard exclusively on this week’s  Radio Happy Hour:

Game starts at approximately the 3:40 mark. Just hit play below!

CELEBRITY REHAB SUCCESS STORIES POP QUIZ
(drag your cursor under each question to highlight the answer)

Q: Which “Brady Bunch” star recently wrote about her past with drugs and alcohol in a a book called “Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice.”
A: Maureen McCormack

Q: Which celebrity rehab success story just won a Golden Globe for Sherlock Holmes?
A: Robert Downey, Jr.

Q: What New York City disco did a nine-year-old Drew Barrymore frequent before going to rehab as a teenager?
A: Studio 54

Evan White of IWearYourShirt.com was this week’s contestant and he barely got one correct. Barely, because he eventually got the third question right after receiving a hint.  His performance was so poor, Shawn Amos insisted that Evan return for another try next week.  It wasn’t clear whether Shawn wanted Evan to return for his own amusement or to give him a chance to redeem himself.  Either way, Evan will have a second chance on next week’s show.

Had Evan answered two of the three questions correctly, he would have won the DVD of It’s Garry Shandling’s Show: The Complete First Season courtesy of Shout! Factory.
