Congrats to team "Just Men!" on their impressive win at pub trivia this week! If you happened to miss our pre-league (warm up) trivia night, you might have missed out on some fun Betty White-themed trivia. Here are a few of the questions we enjoyed the most. (Click the little arrows for answers.)

Betty White had impeccable taste. Did she prefer Twizzlers or Red Vines?

In this television show, which debuted in 2012, Betty surrounded herself by hot, frequently-shirtless young men, and sent senior citizens out to play pranks on young people. What was the show called?

On the Golden Girls, what was the occupation of Rose’s biological father?

The Golden Girls program was so popular, two shows were spun off: The Golden Palace and Empty Nest. What was the name of the show that was spun off of Empty Nest?

In the pilot episode of the Golden Girls, the cast of characters included a gay cook, whom Sophia referred to as “the fancy man.” What was this character’s first name?
