I knew as soon as I clicked give up and saw Rod Stewart's name I was going to go "ooooohhhhh!!!" ... and that's what I did.

Rod Stewart sure looks like Steve Perry. I guess it was the wrong decade.

I thought it was Ron Wood. Kept trying to spell it differently--but not a lot of choice there. Then, I tried Rod Stewart...

No. Steve Perry of Journey was famous at the end of the 70s, too. Perry joined Journey as their lead singer at the end of '77. He was the lead singer on the "Infinity" (Jan '78) and "Evolution" (Mar '79) albums and would certainly been considered a celebrity by the close of the decade.

Rodney Dangerfield was easy money on this quiz.

No, he was one of the hardest. I took a punt that it might be him. Nor did I recognise Carson. They were not well known outside the US in the 70s, although Dangerfield did achieve international fame later.

I actually even tried that despite knowing that it must be wrong. No idea what Johnny Carson looked like. And no idea who Bob Newhart is

Same here, I didn't really believe it, but I tried it anyways since they look somewhat similar.

Not the only similarity in this quiz...

Maybe Nixon’s VP who became President could be replaced by the other president of the 1970s so that quizzers don’t get two answers right with one guess.

Why doesn't "Dwight" work for Elton John? That's his ACTUAL last name.
wolfcat95

That is NOT his ACTUAL name!!! It is his birth name. He legally changed his name in Jan '72. While his first hit single, "Your Song" was released in '70, it was released on his eponymous "Elton John" album as he was already using that name. I, therefore, submit that Reginald Dwight was never a celebrity in the 1970s... or any succeeding decade. Elton John was... and is.

I was sure to see Pierre Richard and didn't understand how I may have misspelled the name. It actually was Gene Wilder, but they looked very much alike.

Streep, Dangerfield,Marley and were more popular in the 80s. Bob Marley 's music took off after he died in the early 80s.

But they were all celebrities in the 1970s. It doesn't matter when they were most famous.

"I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'".

- Bob Newhart.
