    I know you weren't thinking Lilith, but I forget Niles' wife's name.

    Correct on all.

    IQs:

    What was Niles Crane's wife's name? (heheheh)
    Did your recurring role on The Donna Reed Show lead to an even more high-profile gig?
    Did you found a Mass. paper company that provides high-grade cotton bond for printing U.S. currency?

    Previous IQs:

    What was Niles Crane's wife's name? (heheheh) - Yes, Maris Crane
    Did your recurring role on The Donna Reed Show lead to an even more high-profile gig? - I don't believe Carol Burnett had a recurring role on that show. Are you guessing, or is that true? I was thinking of Bob Crane, who later went on to Hogan's Heroes.
    Did you found a Mass. paper company that provides high-grade cotton bond for printing U.S. currency? - Mr. Crane (of Crane's).

    Crane x3!

    DQ:

    Last name start with C?

    One DQ reserved (maybe).

    IQs:

    Were you, more than any other person, politically responsible for the Erie Canal?
    Was it said that, "like a mackerel in moonlight, [you] shined and stank"?
    Were you TR's VP?

    I didn't really think it was Carol. You earned a DQ fair and square.
