FIFTY events at The Rec Room Roundhouse, and we are only just beginning with Trivia Club! Following up our first anniversary celebration in The Hall, which saw our first Royalty at The Rec Room crowned, we were more then happy to follow-up festivities with a nice big round number at The Rec Room! Our fiftieth event at The Rec Room saw new teams and returning teams, and a competitive night of questions go all the way down to the wire!

 Trivia Classic  came to an end with a tie atop the leader board, with Quiztopher Knowlans neck and neck with Yak Attack! Two points off the lead, in third, were Jacket Off, who themselves had a point advantage on Suck It Trebek. One point behind Suck it Trebek was Okay, Terrific! to round out the Top Five (top five, top five), while Ryders rounded out the field just two and a half points off of fifth!

 Tri-Pardo  then saw Ryders roll for three points on the first question, while Quiztopher Knowlans rolled for nine points on the second question, and finally Yak Attack roll for TWENTY on their second of three attempts! This meant that thirty-two points were on the line in round two at The Rec Room! Jacket Off would gain three points, while Ryders and Yak Attack would both gain twelve points, while three teams, Quiztopher Knowlans, Suck It Trebek, and Okay, Terrific! would all hit the triple and gain thirty-two to bring those three teams into the lead before the Finale!

The  Trivia Finale  saw most teams go all-in, with Quiztopher Knowlans looking to gain their first Golden VHS and holding their fate in their hands, while Suck It Trebek would have to balance knowledge and luck while leaving one point on the board. One point was all that was needed against Okay, Terrific! but of course the margin of error was razor thin!

When the dust cleared on our FIFTIETH EVENT... the winners on the night would win their THIRD GOLDEN VHS in ten appearances, with 87 points to their name, SUCK IT TREBEK! Runners-up on the night were in fact Yak Attack, one of only three teams along with our night's Champs and Jacket Off, to answer the last question correctly!

Saturday Night Live Fantasy League presented by Trivia Club, is a Fantasy League like no other. Like Fantasy Football for the comedy nerd, participants draft cast members and prospective hosts before the start of the season and then are awarded points based of their performance through a scoring system. For additional points, before the start of each episode participants can guess which two songs they think the musical guest will perform. Since the beginning, this television institution has become the first step in the major leagues of comedy stardom, and with over forty seasons of familiar traditions, we’ve found a way to add math to comedy and somehow make that a fun game to play. No seriously. You’re welcome.

Remember that you can and should still play at home, and with friends! We will also be adding a new wrinkle this year with each member of the Hartman Group breaking down points in an episode, with each of the seven core participants responsible for three episodes! In the five previous seasons this was solely my responsibility, and though I will still be putting together the posts on the episodes I am happy that everyone that has been invested in SNL Fantasy League since the beginning will get a turn on building our sixth season of this strange and wonderful experiment.

Joining three-time Hartman Trophy winner Matthew S. and The Ignorant Sluts, myself Russel H. and the Billion Dollar Murrays, Brian E. and The Team You Wish You Hadn’t Started A Conversation With At A Party, Kevin M. and The Not Ready For First Place Players, and reigning Hartman Trophy winner Rob M. under the new team name Hunter The Hungry’s Gotta Eat in our own little Five Timers Club with their fifth season of Saturday Night Live Fantasy League is previous Hartman Trophy winner Megan McKay and War Horse Can Dance ,and Sarah R. and Holtzwomenn! Thank you both for being the Candice Bergan, making sure this isn’t some boys club! Megan M. began in Season 40 as part of the first new group in our Fantasy League, before joining the Hartman Group in Season 41 and winning the Hartman Trophy immediately, while Sarah R. has been a part of Hartman since year two of our Fantasy League as the first new member of the Group!

With all that said, here are the Cast Draft results, and prospective Host Draft results, for the Season 44 Hartman Group!
