I'd no idea who Alex Trebek was, after Googling him, as a Brit, my chances of getting him are all but nil.

The others I knew, albeit one or two I couldn't remember or didn't recognise.

I recognise the name and know he is somehow connected to Jeopardy from some sketches I once saw. But wouldn't recognise his face. That as a Finn.

In America, he is one of the most beloved tv hosts of all time. More so since he announced he was battling cancer.

Seems the quizmaker is not really a Rush fan, what a shame. Geddy Lee is not less iconic than some others in the bottom lines...

Geddy who? I guess it's a matter of perspective. I can't believe Wayne Gretzky is the second least recognized on the list.

I got Gretzky but I can easily see how he would be among the least guessed: Plenty of people who aren't into sports, but are very much into music and cinema, took the quiz.

I'm surprised he is so low because I thought he was so famous that even people who don't like sports would know him. I don't know anything about opera, but I'd recognize Pavarotti. Ditto poetry and Maya Angelou. Some people transcend their market and become famous to the average person. I thought the unquestioned best hockey player of all-time would fit the bill, but I guess hockey is much less popular than I thought.

I'd recognize him in hockey gear of course, but beyond that I associate him with wavy blond hair. The picture used for this quiz looks more like middle-age Eric Idle to me lol

How ironic that I easily got all the answers for the Famous french people quiz but missed several of these when I'm from Canada. But then, all the people in this quiz I never knew were Canadian.

You did better than me - I've only heard of 5 of them, three of whom I guessed. I was expecting Ben Johnson - though I suppose that he's infamous rather than famous.

can we stop with the witch-hunting of Bieber for crying out loud. i'm by no means a fan of him but it's ridiculous the amount of abuse he got when he was younger, and still does. please stop living in 2010, thanks.

He's pretty much the mascot/punching bag that represents everything people loathe about modern pop culture, so he inspires a lot of ill will in people. I agree it's probably overkill, but...well, he's awful. At least he has some discernible talent though, however marginal. The Kardashians, on the other hand...

Only got 15, sadly. That angle was weird for Gretzky and I couldn't place him, ditto Bryan Adams. Neil Young, though, is from about 15 minutes away from where I live now!

I wonder if this statistics reflect younger and non-Americans doing the quiz. 9 of the 10 figures that were most recognizable to me were the least recognizable on the list.

I think I'd enjoy watching Deadpool punch "The Beeb" right in the face, and then utter something witty like, "how ya like my recipe for Poutine baby? Next I'm Poutine my foot up your a$$!".

Hate me, neighbors to the north, but I'll say it - 90% of you live within 50 miles of the good ole US of A (we don't do metric down here - it's French). You guys look like us, and nearly sound like us. Like a really Fargo version of us, but whatever. You can leave Quebec behind, but really, what is the point of remaining subjects the Queen? Just either move down here already or just annex yourselves to the nearest state. OK, fire away.

"you guys look like us"

What does that even mean? There's an American "look"? Like how Muhammad Ali is similar to Pee Wee Herman?

And loudly not knowing the difference between the two countries is the most American thing ever. Isn't it ironic?

Donald Sutherland is one of the most iconic Canadian actors, was the original Hawkeye in MASH and an iconic Montreal native. He was known as an Expo superfan in the 80s. Now more people would recognize his son - Kiefer.

Dwayne Johnson’s father was a Nova Scotian, his mother was Samoan. Which would appear to make him more Canadian than American and, of course, means that he DOES in fact have something to with Canada.
