Karen's popping all the marts in order to make a quiz about knock-offs, clones, fakes, off-brands, and dupes. I Can't Believe It's Not Trivia! Chris has us doing jazz hands in a Broadway quiz (but the real fun is summarizing musical plots to Colin.) And of course, "Celebrities with Animals in Their Names."

See you later this year on OUR ROAD TO 300! THIS. IS. TRIVIA.
