The insanes vs. the brains.

Warning: Spoilers
You'd think that the FYI news team, one of the most respected sources of important information in the country, would be able to challenge some college students in a quiz show, but "noooooo.....". They couldn't even get the correct answer to "How many FYI's does it take to screw in a lightbulb?", Murphy's question, not mine. When the game goes on the air after a poor showing in rehearsal, FYI seems to be doing fine until Miles ("Mr. Silverberg") freezes on a question concerning a Jewish holiday, basically Murphy's fault because she hit his buzzer in anticipation that he knew the answer. Tony Jay (who played the sexually desired artist Laszlo on "Golden Girls") is delightfully droll as the cynical game show host. It should also be noted that Phil LaMarr, the actor playing the black Yale student, has had a very successful career as a voice over artist, not recognized by me as Ollie Williams from "Family Guy". He gets a very nice scene at the end with Murphy.
