For my sister
My sister Lisa is the biggest Seinfeld fan I know. I have no idea what percentage of the postings on her blog consist of Seinfeld trivia questions, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was told it was upwards of 50%.
Beyond Seinfeld, she is actually an avid enthusiast of all pop culture trivia. (I still can't believe she beat me in a game of Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture Edition 2 on a Scrabble question - it should have been mine!)
That said, I would be remiss to not recount tonight's episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire for her enjoyment. Not only is it pop culture week on the show, but the $100,000 question for one of the contestants was as follows:
"As revealed in the series finale of 'Seinfeld,' what is the Soup Nazi's name?"
A: Aziz Nesin
B: Zef Hasani
C: Yev Kasem
D: Ali Kadare
If anyone I know can answer that question, it's you, Lisa. (I won't post the answer yet so you can have a crack at it first.)
Interestingly, the contestant (who actually guessed incorrectly and went home with $25K) was one third of the "I Heart Jake Ryan" team from VH1's World Series of Pop Culture.
