As far as the 17-year old singer goes, it's a toss-up between Tiffany & Debbie(Debra now) Gibson. Upon closer inspection & some rememberence, Tiffany was first to hit #1 on Billboard in 1988 with "Could've Been" while Debbie hit #1 a few months later with "Foolish Beat".


Tiffany actually hit No. 1 in November 1987 with her remake of "I Think We're Alone Now".  She did not produce it.

Which game show has produced the highest number of episodes:

A. The Price is Right
B. Jeopardy
C. Wheel of Fortune
D. (throw something else in here, maybe ... ) Newlywed Game


This would be easy for us, but the odds are a person in the hot seat would find this really tricky.  I think it would be good for a higher-level question.

It's obviously TPiR, perhaps with Jeopardy a close 2nd place.

Maybe not a MDQ, but probably near the top... although I get the feeling I've seen this before somewhere.

A) Pittsburgh Pirates
B) Los Angeles Dodgers
C) St. Louis Cardinals
D) New York Giants

This one's a toss-up between LA(Dodgers) & NY(Giants).  However, I seem to remember that the Dodgers started out in Brooklyn & won a few tittles there before they moved to LA in the 1950's.  I'll go with LA on this one.

I thought so too. The Dodgers have won six World Championships, once in Brooklyn in 1955, and then five more in Los Angeles (including my personal favorite, 1988) after moving out West for the 1958 season.

The Pirates and Giants have won five each. All six Giant titles have come in New York...they have played in three Fall Classics in San Francisco, and lost all three.

Surprisingly (well, maybe not so, considering they are one of the very oldest teams in the sport) tho, the St. Louis Cardinals have won nine, their first in 1926, their last in 1982. So there's your answer.

Awful easy question to Google, though..."world series championships" turned up a complete list as the third hit. But it redeems itself by having an answer you wouldn't expect. I didn't, anyhow.

By the way, the answer to the earth's atmosphere's weight question is C.

But this question might work for $32,000:

 ...except that statment is used by so many broadcasters these days that to call it a "catch phrase" belonging to Musberger would be an act of supreme hubris.

How is that going one better?  That question would become obsolete in a few months; besides the fact that almost everyone is aware of how long TPIR has been on.

Next.

 Too specific. Who would really care about something like that, other than the people on this board?

Besides, that seems like a poorly-worded question. To me, you saying "currently-running" would imply asking which show has aired 6,000 episodes in it's current run, instead of cumulative throughout multiple runs. I seriously doubt Feud has done 6,000 episodes since 1999...even with Double Runs. ;-)
