If you are not major Beatle fan, the answer those three contestants made sense. I know with that "Final Jeopardy" category I would have bet everything I had on the question -lol

Amy Schneider (reigning 22 day champ) bet $10,000 and still won.
P.S. Simon & Garfunkel actually met in 1953 at age 11!!

It is a shame we were not on the show although how well we might have done on other questions is up for debate -lol. Sadly, this is a reflection on the fact that Paul's non-Beatle music is not well known to the general public. We also need to remember the song is almost 50 years old and might have come out before these contestants were born.

On Entertainment Tonight Debbie Allen was talking about the reunion of the Fame cast and said people were screaming "like we were The Beatles."

On The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon was asking all these questions of Ricky Gervais and one was "Who is the best Beatle?" He went with Paul McCartney after he said he supposed he'd better answer one of them who was still alive!
The next question was "If you were a cannibal, which famous person would you want to eat?" and Ricky told Jimmy he was a vegan. Jimmy says "How about Paul McCartney, he's a vegetarian." Ricky says, "Well so is a cow, but I'm not going to eat a cow!"
It was ridiculously funny!

On Bull 2/24/22, they were trying to figure out this dead guy's password to a cryptocurrency wallet. He had left his son a photo of them taken a long time ago when they were fishing (the cryptocurrency card was found behind the picture frame) They noticed the shadow of the picture taker in the photo.
One character says "I have this picture of my aunt and my grandmother from a trip they took to New York. My grandmother asked this stranger to take the picture. Turned out to be Paul McCartney. We call it the Paul McCartney photo."
Other character says "I don't think Paul McCartney has 14 letters." (they somehow knew the password had 14 letters)
First character: "No, I just wondered if the password is the name of the photographer"
(sure enough, they found out the name of the photographer from the son and her name -NETTYMCCRACKEN - was the password!)

The Beatles had an entire category, Beatles Love Songs, on Jeopardy!

On The Late Late Show with James Corden's monologue last night:
According to a new study, Americans have very poor knowledge of British people and our culture. Only 29% of Americans knew that Harry Styles is British and only 10% knew that Dua Lipa was from the U.K. And guys, I have some news about The Beatles that is going to blow your mind!

According to BBC radio this afternoon, 40,000 Americans are insured against being abducted by space aliens !! I think that's all I need to know about you Americans.

Only 40,000 out of 332 million? A mere trifling!

Yesterday on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, he was doing this game where he was asking Brooke Shields if she'd ever met certain celebrities and the other guest (Sam Hueghan who plays Jamie Fraser on Outlander - the only reason I recorded the show! - had to guess if it was true) Andy asked if she ever met a Beatle and she said yes, Paul & George. (it was true, but she gave no details)

On PBS, Great Performances, the James Corden play "One Man, Two Guvnors" originally on Nov. 6, 2020.
James' character says: My father, Tommy Henshall, God rest his soul, he'd 'a been proud of me, what I done with my life. Until today. I used to play washboard in a Skiffle band, but they all went to see The Beatles on Tuesday night and sacked me Wednesday morning. It's ironic really, 'cause I actually started The Beatles. Yeah! I went to see them in Hamburg - they were rubbish! I said to that John Lennon, I said "John, this is embarrassing. You're going nowhere mate. Have you thought about writing your own songs?"
