trivia: One of the very first goos, Don King (1998), inspired a tradition that continues to this day. I was especially unimaginative when devising a clue and wrote "who's the king?" to hint at his name. Matthew Preston made fun of that lazy clue, and he was right to do so. I decided to make it a tradition every round and season thereafter to ask "who's the king?" again with more celebrities named King, as both a silly tradition and a reminder not to be so lazy again. –Scott Hardie
