  • RSM Senior Marketing Manager Chris Jackson
    – Dangerous enough to be a good trivia teammate despite being a new parent
  • CFL Edmonton Eskimos Senior Dir of Communications & Broadcast Rose Mary Phillip
    – Merely has on-again, off-again interest in pop culture 
  • Kauffman Sports Management Group Founder & President Steve Kauffman
    – Avid reader of Rolling Stone magazine
  • CSN Philadelphia VP/News Programming Michelle Murray
    – Stays current on pop culture because it's prevalent in her network's shows
