Overview

First round: Select the right pairings of Hollywood actors and the U.S. Presidents they portrayed. (The "Hot Spot" was behind the pairing Randy Quaid and Lyndon B. Johnson. It was subsequently lost and reappeared behind Jason Robards as Abraham Lincoln. Makes sense, especially if you remember Randy Quaid said "You're such a _____ idiot!" in Dead Solid Perfect.) Second round, first board: Name which Atlantic Ocean Islands lie in the Caribbean Sea. Second round, second board: Get the right pairings of billiard balls and their solid colors. Second round, tie-breaker: which of these words are synonyms for "happy"? Bonus round: TV show namesakes.
