Um, I think the idea is to write a contemporary question.

In 2002 he might have been. I actually had to look it up to see if he was still playing.

2002 is a little early.  Even in late 2003, when he did a signing at an event at an Indians team shop, the line wasn't that long.  Coco's best years weren't in Cleveland.

Steve said, "It's tough deciding who to choose in this election.  Trump, Hillary, Trump, Hillary.  Why can't we have someone sensible?  Someone like ________."

Jim said, "I think my DVR malfunctioned when I tried to record two shows at once.  When I tried to watch the life story of Muhammad Ali, all I got was *BLANK* proclaiming that he was the greatest!"

Pro-tip from writer Dick DeBartolo: "Implied category." There needs to be something in the question that implies some category that the answers should fall into.

[SuperSweeper]

Ok, point taken.   

How about something like this:  Jim said, "My DVR malfunctioned when I tried to record two shows at once.  When I tried to watch "The Life Story of Muhammad Ali," all I got was a presidential debate - and *BLANK* was proclaiming that THEY were the greatest!"

Writing comedy is very hard.

[TLEberle]

Humor is a funny thing that way.

Maybe I'll have it down when Match Game is revived in 2026.   

[Fedya]

Somehow I doubt it.  :-p

Did you want responses to your question, or did you want others to submit their own questions?

Either or both!

Hey! Have you heard about the dating app for chauffeurs? It's called _____.

[TLEberle]

That sounds more like a Definition.

Here's a Round 1 question:

Steve Harvey said, "I just heard the best slang term for male genitalia - <blank>"

No match, Dan'l.
