There’s nothing quite like a night at Idle Hour. Teams come from all around the city to join in the best show in all of NoHo: KING TRIVIA!

33 groups gathered for a night of revelry and riddles, led by yours truly. Without much ado (about nothing) we got down to quizness. 

Round One of course started with a tie, but this was truly massive: 15 teams toppled over each other for first place. However, by Round Two, Quiz Team-A Aguilera had already moved into second. 

Three Cool Boys waiting until Round Three to make their move, and the Wildly Inconsistent folk jumped into the leaderboard after Four. 

Our Drinking Round asked the question: Who was on the receiving end of the first EVER phone call. With what would become their new routine, Emergency Food took the win. And they never looked back. 

Round Five was a downright brutal slugfest as our top teams began lobbing doubles like they were made of them. Unfortunately, that reward also comes with a hefty bit of risk. Leveraging the stakes, Emergency Food jumped into a narrow lead with a single point over Quiz Team-A. 

The top two battled it out round over round, and in the end it was a mere few points that separated the scores. 

Our winners for the night were Emergency Food: All 'Tucker'd Out, Quiz-Team-A Aguilera, and Wildly Inconsistent.

The weather in Los Angeles is a lot like the relationship between writers and studios: constantly chaotic (and somewhat exploitative)! But nothing can keep the masters of mystery from joining forces in Idle Hour for 7 rounds of incredible trivia!

27 teams joined together in every available seat to show off their knowledge and win big prizes. It was a battle for the ages, and we couldn’t wait to begin. 

Round One started with the normal Big Ol’ Tie™, but round two opened up quickly as Emergency Food: Peaches Peaches Peaches (Acoustic Version) jumped into the lead, with five teams battling for second. 

Round Three got the crowd to their feet to watch a live performance of the designated dances (leading to some extra prizes for the competitors), and ended in a three-way tie with Agents of the Zeitgeist, Valley Girls, and Quiz Kid Donnie Smith. 

Round Four caught our teams on the red carpet with some hard hitting gossip, leading to a whittled-down first place spot: Zeitgeist and Valley Girls. But the real shocks were just coming up. 

Our Drinking Round took the National Animal Crackers question to its logical conclusion and had our team battling it out to see who knew the most about Shirley Temple. In the end, Bimbos defeated the others to win the free shots.  

Round Five chilled the leaderboard and opened the door for Emergency Food to step into first, but only points ahead of the competition. 

Round Six and Seven knocked down more and more of the competition, pushing our players to the very edge of their trivial knowledge. It was all coming down to the final seconds!

Our winners for the night were Emergency Food: Peaches Peaches Peaches (Acoustic Version), The Bimbos, and Agents of the Zeitgeist!

Why is tonight different from all other nights? Short answer? IT’S NOT! It may still be Passover, but we’re not skipping any chance to chow down on some delicious riddles and rhymes. Welcome to King Trivia at Idle Hour!

27 teams gathered for a post-Easter (and mid Passover) trivia extravaganza. While this QM was still stuffed with Matzoh, he was overflowing with quizzical knowledge! But were these teams ready to feast?

Round One warmed up these trivia titans with some over-the-plate general knowledge questions, leading to a comfortable tie for six teams at the top of the board. 

Round Two made life easier for our teams by asking for only a single name for these eight celebrities. While there were a few drawing a blank, Quiz Team A Aguilera managed to remember their E True Hollywood stories and take the lead. 

Round Three got frisky with a little wine and a little detective dramas, enabling 720 of Emotion to get within 2 points of the top spot.

Round Four wasn’t playing silly pool games, an the teams quickly caught on to the ruse. With a bold leap, 720 tied for first with Quiz Team A.

Our Drinking Round looked for the cutest pet photo in the room, and we weren’t disappointed. Joe’s Revenge took the twin and the free shots with mermaid dog!

Round Five revealed which of our teams had spent a few too many summers at Math Camp, and turned out to be the dream maker for two teams! Joaquin Phreezer and Breakfast All Day tied for first!

Round Six and Seven became a slug fest for every level, leading up to a final showdown for the bravest doublers in the room. In the end, however, first place was no contest. 

Our winners for the night were Breakfast All Day, Joaquin Phreezer, and a surprise score for Emergency Food: Goldfish the Team that Smiles Back.
