Yes Chuck, answered them all. No, I haven't gotten younger since the "Dirt Quiz". 
Yeah, I remember trying to hoola hoop with that huge hoop when I was six. Bummer, learned the twist instead. But we used to roll the hoops real fast on the sidewalk and the spin used to return them to you.

LOL, Tom. That's what I meant. I knew most of them right off the bat, and there were two or three I had to really think about, but I knew them too. (I'm also growing senile, apparently...)

The only one I didn't get was 13 but then I didn't know who Don Maclean was.
Who ran for Vice President with Barry Goldwater? It's one of the toughest political stumpers.
Who was Rocky Jones' sidekick?
Wire Palladin where?
Who was Dick Biondi?
What did Betty Furness sell?
What comediene did Garry Moore make famous?

I will venture Sky King on this one. The geezer's name that drove the jeep escapes me now, BUT, the jeep's name was Anabelle. (unless I'm thinking of Roy Rogers)

Palladin lived in San Francisco. "Have Gun Will Travel"
Carol Burnet is right.
The only one in Alley's series I'm sure of is Sky King. I can't remember the jeep guy. I can't remember what Groucho said either, nor Johnny.
You got me.

1) "My Little Margie" and her dad's boss' name was Mr. A.............. Knew the answer when I asked it, now I can't remember. What's this disease called Don?
2) Kevin, you and Charlie are both right. The girl's name was Penny and Pat drove the jeep (I didn't know the jeep's name).
3) "I like a good cigar, but I take it out of my mouth every once in a while!"
4) "I'll bet that made his putter stand on end!"
5) Son House

Another Carson lawsuit-
Johnny had some actress on (Ann Margaret?). She came out with a black leopard on a leash. When she sat down next to Carson the leopard jumped up in her lap. Johnny, without getting out of his seat, was getting as far away from the leopard as he could. The actress said, "It's OK Johnny. Would you like to pet my girl thingy?" Without skipping a beat Carson replied, "Yes, if you move that damn cat!"

I remember watching Red Skelton, but don't remember his character. Everything else I'm pretty sure is right.
