The first three I saw were Fey, Rudolph, and Shannon, but I couldn't come up with an SNL cast member named Strong, and thought that Queen could be the fourth one, until I saw the last eight clues

Is "ala" one word? I thought it was two words, as in Chicken a la King.

Surely you can't be serious!

After arriving in Seoul, I was standing outside the plane in the walkway waiting for my kids, and the pilots were waiting around too. I asked if the movie "Airplane!" is still beloved in the industry, and one of the pilots said "oh yeah" and quipped that it should be required training. He asked his fellow pilot whether he met anyone who hadn't seen it and was surprised to hear that many colleagues had not!

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 STARE --- Aargh! I think many of you know this WAS my starting word for a long time. I have it up because I didn't have a good second word. A book I read convinced me to switch to TRIAL and then CONES. In this case, TRIAL yielded 3 yellows, so I tried for a 2.

Congratulations to DogHand!

Jeopardy!, Yahoo!, and Airplane!, I knew, but had to guess between Pink and Pony - and apparently, it refers to the singer spelling her name P!nk, which I have never seen. I kept thinking of Pink's Hot Dogs (which used to be sold at Planet Hollywood) for some reason.

I don't think I have ever heard the phrase "Ante Up" - just "Ante"

🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 NEVER / Correct

With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 1 and 5.

I spent about two minutes solving this one. Eagle #76 and back-to-back eagles for me. When I was starting with STARE, I generally tried to use second guesses that included N, M, and L. Now that LEAST is my opener, I try to use N, M, and R. Yesterday and today my second guesses have been spectacularly good.

My streak is at 78.
