Rothchild is the author of How to Get Divorced by 30: My Misguided Attempt at a Starter Marriage, a tongue and cheek and funny, yet practical memoir. While she’s not against marriage following her failed experience at the institution, she did tell us after winning the Pop Culture IQ that she is FOR divorce if you’re not happily married.

She advises against marrying for money but says that if you do choose to do so don’t sign a prenup because “then you’re just a moron.”

She also told us that she has a dog that she must walk five times a day.

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.

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

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.
