WHAT WAS THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER FIRST CALLED?
Founded in 1926 as The New York Enquirer, it was bought in 1952 by Generoso Pope Jr., allegedly with funds provided by Mafia boss Frank Costello. It has also been alleged that Costello provided the money in exchange for the Enquirer’s promise to list lottery numbers and to refrain from all mention of Mafia activities
New York Enquirer just doesn’t have the same ring to it, huh?

BILL MAHER’s CINEMA LIST
Comedian Bill Maher is listed with 4 feature film credits. Can you name more than one of them?
Answer: D.C. Cab (1983), Ratboy (1986), Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death (1988), and Pizza Man (1991).
With a line-up like that, it’s no wonder Maher stuck with cable.
