- Saturday Night Live cast member with a cameo in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.

1) From 1980-89, 3. From 1959-1979, 3. From 1990-2008, 3. I'm guessing you're consistent.
2) There were people in that movie (other than Harrison Ford) besides short round and the woman Spielberg happened to be screwing at the time? Ummmm, Dan Ackroyd.
3) Earth Day (not really a holiday and seems right for the Nixon period for that kind of asshattery)
4) Venice Italy
5) New Jersey
1) Two.
2) Nora Dunn. (I was talking about her just yesterday, so I'm going to say "Nora Dunn" even though it can't be correct.)
3) Arbor Day.
4) Buda. Or maybe Pest.
5) Bliss? No, Hawaii! (VW: howli. Clearly a sign from BLogger to change my answer.)
From 1959-1979, 3. Wow, three is correct.
3. From 1990-2008, 3. Nope, 1990's Nick of Time is the only one.
Answers:
