Do you remember a lot about TV series finales? Can you figure out
what Sarah Palin has in common with chocolate-covered toffee? Do
you know what four-letter acronym was popularized by American
Pie? If not, can you make people who do know laugh? If you
answered yes to any of these questions, you belong at The Big
Quiz Thing, the ultimate multimedia live quiz show! In 2012,
the BQT established itself as L.A.’s best trivia night, and it
continues its residency at Busby’s East Sunday, April 21, at
7:30pm (doors 7pm). There’s a $200 grand jackpot, plus additional
fabulous prizes, including tickets to the Eat Hear See festival
and Mystery Trip LA, swag from recent movies, and more!

Since 2002, The Big Quiz Thing—more than a bar trivia night—
has been a citywide sensation in its hometown of New York, where
this summer it comes to TV with an original game show on the
NYC Life network (and online). The L.A. edition—hosted in by
ace quizmaster Daniel Halden—features all the fully produced
multimedia fun that has attracted rabid trivia fans in cities
nationwide. Video and audio puzzles, the Lightning Round, the
Three-Way Finale—and the most entertaining “figureoutable” quiz
questions anywhere—The Big Quiz Thing is the trivia event that no
self-respecting geek can afford to miss. Perhaps literally: The
winning team takes home the $200 prize, not to mention trivia-
geek glory. Plus, there are tons of other prizes: This edition
features passes to L.A.’s premier summertime celebration of
food, movies and music, Eat See Here, and the unique city tour
experience of Mystery Trip LA; plus, we have gift cards from our
fabulous venue, Busby’s East, and more from our A-list prize
partners, including primo Hollywood goodies!

But what if you aren’t a nerdy brainiac? There’s hope: Slap a
Smart-Ass Point sticker on your funny wrong answer, and if it
gets a laugh from the audience, you earn the point. Everyone gets
to play, everyone laughs!

In a culture of bite-size information and prepackaged wisdom,
nothing is nobler than a live quiz show, and in the world of live
trivia, absolutely nothing is better than The Big Quiz Thing.

The Big Quiz Thing is at Busby’s East, 5364 Wilshire Blvd (near
La Brea), Sunday, April 21, and the third Sunday of every month.
Doors 7pm, show 7:30pm. Admission is a mere $10, and there is a
