Episode 49 — Pop Quiz

[admin 330]

Okay, it's quiz time: Who has made it big on Parks and Recreation, written movie scripts for major studios, won an Emmy for writing the Oscars, and had a starring role in a movie? That's right, the answer is Ben Schwartz who joins us this week for a detailed discussion of UK iTunes Singles and a tricky game of Chart Roulette. This is a guy who can kill at Howard's quizzes, offer up legitimate showbiz knowledge in the Movie Chart, and summon his very own dolphin when the roulette wheel started acting up! Get to know the un-douchy, Lego-loving, gypsy-seducing side of Jean Ralphio this week on Who Charted?! Be sure to visit the Earwolf store to pick up a copy of Who Charted? LIVE in Seattle with special guest Sir Mix-A-Lot!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that uses television shows to express time periods. And I have a history degree.

Ben Schwartz was so much fun! Please bring him back on the show again soon. I can only imagine what quizzes he'll prepare for Howard. By the way, I'm really looking forward to Ep. 50... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6yGAQZqHZQ

Did Kulap pronounce Ben's P&R character as "June Raphael"?

[MikeB 2]

What was the name of the 2007 Wilco Album?

Sky... Sky Blue Sky

Timely shout-out to Heavy D guys... R.I.P.

[jarshall 25]

Howard, I've got your quiz time theme. gimme a couple of days to do it up. I'll make a new thread.

Another fantastic show. I've been listening to some of the past episodes and I have to say that I really like when the guest "breaks" the show a little. Guests like Andy Kindler, Steven Brody Stevens and I think Ben Schwarz really make Howard work hard to keep the show on track, but there's such a great sense of "what's going to happen next?".

Anyway, I listen to a lot of great comedy podcasts but this one is tops for me. Now, how can I get that Seattle ep? Peese!

Wow, great show everybody! Ben Schwartz was tons of fun. Keep up the good work!

[jughead 189]

Gelman on Who Charted!!!!! make it happen!

[Foam Corner 94]

^Listen to that guy.

Keeping Engineer Dustin on his toes was amazing. I think Ben needs his own podcast on earwolf where he tries to stump the engineer.

Holy shit Ben was so damn awesome. This is definitely one of my favorite episodes. You guys have to have him back on.

Ben Schwartz is hilarious! What was the song he was intro'd on by the best hype (wo)man on the scene?

[DustinMartian 89]

Thanks Jeff, that was a lot of fun. He was great. I have a new respect for Fred Norris.

I don't know if I could keep up with him but I'd love to try!

Craig, that song is Jay-Z & Kayne West - H*A*M (Bonus Track)

Cheers,
Dustin

This podcast killed Heavy D. Damn you Jean Ralphio.

[ArcturusFats 14]

"Your vampire costume was a piece of shit." This is the funniest thing.

[mwn 5470]

Amazing episode. Some of the best repartee since the Rob Huebel or Andy Richter eps.

[Willy 1]

hysterical episode. ben is such a good sport- he needs to be a regular.
one more request.....more lee!!!! how an imitation of someone i've never seen or heard is funny, i don't know, but i can't get enough!

KU-LAP!!!

[Merick 28]

I don't have anything clever to say, just that this was a great episode.

[93The_ace 36]

@WIlly: You should listen to episode 40

It sounds like you guys had fun recording this. Ben was great.

[LukeHENDERSON 3]

What show is it on Earwolf that has the history of talking about people and then them passing away right afterward? Weird timing on the Heavy D thing. Great episode though!

[Smalkmus 7]

I think this has been my favorite Who Charted to date. Ben Schwartz was so much fun. I love the mad-lib summation idea. I really wish they would bring back shouting out the number for each chart entry instead of just the #1.
