In the light of David Attenborough's still developing Polar Beargate scandal, it's time to share the studio audience's joke with the TV audience, Meredith. It probably was only ten minutes or so since Mike taped his first episode!

Answer

D: Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Is there a YouTube clip of this WWOQ scene? Did the "Boy Getting Haircut"* get to speak any lines at all?



*According to IMDb, the movie is from 1988, when Cuba Gooding, Jr. was 20 years old. Even the name of the part he played was misleading to any contestant who might have tried reasoning out the answer, since it gives the impression of a younger child.

[MarleysGh0st]

So much for (hypothetically) reasoning out that question. IMDb says Don Cheadle was born in 1964, Jamie Foxx in 1967 and Terrance Howard in 1969. Even if I had known those facts, I wouldn't have expected any of them to be playing "Boy Getting Haircut" in 1988.
