I recognised very few of these. I was thinking Alan Sugar for you're fired- from the British version and as for Yes we can- that was Bob the Builders catch phrase which is a kids program!! Never mind.

Okay, I added Bob the Builder and Alan Sugar as acceptable answers.

As a non-american, I found this quiz impossible, bar the obvious Mr T, Charlie Sheem, Snoop. I also feel that Alan Sugar should be allowed as acceptable for "you're fired", I may be wrong but i believe the UK version was the original? Also, in the UK, Bob the Builder (a children's tv character) says "yes we can".

I'm American and missed Snoop. Felt dumb for missing it. Got most of the others, though.

This time around I missed it again but I tried it! I think I just typed in "Snoop" sans the dog.

Also, please allow Cassius Clay for Muhammed Ali. And by the way, Snoop Dogg does call himself Snoop Lion nowadays.

A few answers you should accept:

Jack Nicholson for "He...ere's Johnny!"

Bob The Builder for "Yes We Can" (mainly because Bob said it before Barack)

Flava Flav for "Ye...eah boooooyy!"

Oddly enough, I thought of all of these before seeing them in the comments. Hhmmmmm...

I would agree that it needs to be specified where it is just the American person who is an acceptable answer, I automatically entered Alan Sugar as that is who does the UK show.

I can't believe I missed Elvis. I kept thinking of Andy Kaufman playing Latka on Taxi.

Me too. Andy Kaufman always comes to mind first. Had i not done a previous quiz that had "Thank you very much" i would have missed it again.

Paul Revere as a "celebrity"? He has never been on the cover of Rolling Stone or People. Nor has he been interviewed on the red carpet by Joan and Melissa. Seriously, he doesn't really fit in here.

and it's not really a catchphrase, either. But whatever. Good to see Colbert anyway. I've missed him.

Paul Revere would not have said "the British are coming" considering everyone in the colonies at the time was British.

More likely, it would've been, "the Redcoats are coming".

Actually, he said the "regulars" are coming. Redcoats would have given it away too.

HA...All I could think of for Cuchi-Cuchi was Bill Cosby as he was drugging and molesting all those women back in the day. Allegedly

Dammit! Every other field took just a last name, so I tried Dogg for Snoop Dogg, and assumed it was something else when it didn't work.

While the term "celebrity" might be a bit of a stretch, I'm happy to see this quiz thinking outside the box of the current moment. It is all too rare to see cultural quizzes that include 18th, 19th, and 20th century figures, all together. Well done!
