18
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.599
Welcome back, trivia fans. Let's reveal today's answers. Question one
19
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:29.200
asked which famous Christmas movie almost never aired again after
20
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:32.200
its nineteen forty six release, until a clerical error in
21
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.680
nineteen seventy four accidentally made it public domain. Answer. It's
22
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.000
a Wonderful Life became a holiday tradition only after its
23
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.280
copyright lapsed, allowing TV stations to air it for free.
24
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.000
The mistake made it the most broadcast film of the
25
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.719
nineteen eighties. Question two asked what unusual prop in elf
26
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.079
caused Will Ferrell to actually get sick during filming, leading
27
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.879
to real reactions in the famous breakfast scene. Answer. The
28
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.599
maple syrup was replaced with sugar free syrup that gave
29
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:06.120
Feral real stomach problems, making his sugar rush scenes genuinely manic.
30
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.360
They kept the first take because his discomfort looked like
31
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.479
authentic elf enthusiasm. Question three asked which Christmas movie's iconic
32
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.919
house became so popular with tourists that the city of
33
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.439
Cleveland had to create a special police patrol. Answer. A
34
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.599
Christmas Story House received so many visitors that police created
35
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.439
the Ralphie Root Patrol to manage traffic and prevent people
36
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.479
from licking poles. The owner gives away a free leg
37
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.479
lamp every Christmas Eve. Question four asked what winter sport
38
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.719
accident during the filming of Home Alone left Macaulay Culkin
39

with a scar that had to be covered in every scene.
40
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:44.080
Answer Culkin crashed while sledding down the McAllister's stairs between takes,
41
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.159
requiring makeup artists to hide the chin scar. They incorporated
42
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.520
the sled into the movie as a tribute to the accident.
43
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:53.639
Question five asked which holiday movie props sold at auction
44
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.240
in twenty twelve for one hundred twenty two thousand dollars
45
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.759
despite being broken and having a piece missing. Answer the
46
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.919
original leg lamp. The missing piece is still somewhere in
47
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.479
the original Cleveland house. That concludes today's five daily Trivia questions.
