It’s been a while since we tested your Svengoolie knowledge-so…let’s play Svengoolie Trivia Quiz! See how many answers you can get right- and NO SCROLLING DOWN!!! Play fair…

1. What did it say on the original Svengoolie’s (Jerry G. Bishop’s) headband (when he WORE a headband that said something?)

2. The original “Soul Train” show was shot in the studio where we first shot Svengoolie at “the U”- true or false?

3. Which of the following NEVER appeared on the “Son of Svengoolie “show on WFLD- Jonathan Brandmeier, Chet Coppock, Bruce Wolf, or Buzz Kilman?

4. True or false- Sven was not allowed to appear on a St. Patrick’s Day parade float because he might scare children.

5. Another true or false- Sven and the original Bozo, Bob Bell, once appeared on a tv show together.

6. Who is older- Sven or Doug Graves?

7. When “Son of Svengoolie” was pelted with chickens on his way back to his coffin from the door- what was on his shield?

8. FOR LOYAL BLOG READERS ONLY: What kind of Chia did we try to grow in our production office ? A Chia ____!

And now, the answers- WAIT! YOU WERE SCROLLING DOWN! NO CHEATING!!!…okay, for the REST of you…

1. It said his name- Svengoolie.

2. True- it was the original WCIU studio in the Board of Trade building- and I don’t think it was ever cleaned since the original “Soul Train”…

3. Bruce Wolf was never on Sven- he didn’t work at 32 until later, and never came on the show.

4. True- the organization was worried that Sven would be “too scary” for the kids on the float, so they had me sign autographs at their function afterwards.

5. True again- Bozo, Sven,and even Cookie, Wizzo and Fraiser Thomas all shared the camera at an Easter Seals telethon!

6. Sven is older than Doug- by about 5 months (don’t I look it?!)

7. Trick question- back then, I didn’t HAVE a shield! The shield was made by a fan and sent here to WCIU.

8. Come on- you HAD to know it was a Chia HEAD!!!(Now more appropriately known as a Chia DEAD…) SCORING- 6-8 correct: you’re a true Svenatic! 3-5 correct: stop changing the channel to SNL!!! 0-2 correct: you have spent your time wisely…
