Never heard of him. I am not American. I don't even know what NAACP means and not ashamed of that. On the other hand Conan O'Brien is somewhat of a legend in our country. He even met our president of the time. Both being redheads.

One of my housemates from long ago told the story about how his parents got a visit from the FBI, who wanted to inform them that their son had joined a Communist front group in high school. the W.E.B DuBois Club. He claimed he didn't know about its politics--he thought he was joining The Boys Club.

Where are Ben Affleck, Edward Norton, George H. W. Bush, James Spader, John Cena, Joyner Lucas, Kurt Russel, Meghan Trainor, Michael Bloomberg and Uma Thurman? I did a quick google search and realized you forgot some really famous people

Not all of these people grew up in Massachusetts. That's the problem with just asking Google.

Added some, but this can never be a comprehensive list.

Surely when setting a quiz you have a choice of who you include or don't include. It has nothing to do with forgetting.

Well, I was going to complain that Bill Burr is a huge outlier in terms of recognition, but the stats tell me I'm wrong. Never seen that person nor heard the name before.

Not American but I've heard of Bill Burr . He's a very funny comedian you should check him out on YouTube.

Only missed Chris Evans. I'm usually glad to look up and learn a quick something on the ones I miss. But I'm good on this one, no hard drive space for that guy.

What's so bad about Chris Evans? I can't fault you for not caring about some random celebrity... But why hate on him in particular? He's easy on the eyes, has had some fun acting roles, and doesn't seem to be a terrible person. And I mean, that's America's ass!

Very good quiz - enough challenge for just about anyone since there are people from many different fields and from different time periods. I got 18/20 - I knew Rocky Marciano but I spent the last 45 seconds misspelling his name enough that it never picked up any of my variations (which included a "Z" and an "S"... ah well, my bad. Showing my age, I suppose, I still have absolutely NO clue as to who this "Bill Burr" is... W.E.B. Dubois, Emily Dickenson, Thoreau, Susan B. Anthony etc were no issue for me, but sometimes people popular right now may have never crossed my radar...

According to his Wikipedia page, John Cena went to high school in Lawrence, but he was born in—and in professional wrestling, is billed from—West Newbury.
