** In the '99 ChristmasEpisode, one of the lineups was a bunch of cardboard cut-outs of rappers, with the question being who ''had'nt'' been shot. The team (Phill's) was given a toy gun to shoot at who they thought the answer was. To make things even worse, among the line-up was ''TheNotoriousBIG and TupacShakur''. Again, this was in 199'''''[[TooSoon 9]]'''''.
