Live television is tough, you know? There will be times when one finds oneself having to contend with ignoring an itch or stifling a sneeze or trying, hard, to suppress a burp or, you know. Deal with inhaling small, winged creatures.

8. Who is George Costanza?
I have heard his name many times and never knew who he was/is.

I have always been to embarrassed to ask who he is, because everyone else seemed to know. So I am asking you, W G.

Thanks,

Sonoman

9. A character on The Seinfeld show (Jerry Seinfeld's 1990s sitcom)

Edit - looked for the fly clip, but didn't find it. This is a series of clips from the show.
