I've done a lot of NYT puzzles but this isn't something I have ever tracked. I guessed "era" from my recliner, but at the HP I'd have used JTQ also.

"Ferns" makes sense (assuming it's like the standard "Tonight Show" style set), but I'd be using my 2nd JTQ.

I have absolutely no idea, so it's time for a lifeline. I know it's not A or B, so it's either DD or ATA. Let's go with ATA and hope.
