The new trivia thread.

Which Toronto TV news anchor stepped down in 1988, in part because of an alleged assault on a cleaning woman?

Gail Smith was the CFTO News co-anchor in 1984-88. I think she may have gone to CKVR Barrie briefly after that before disappearing from the public eye. She was accused of assault by a cleaning woman at the CFTO studios. The matter was later settled out of court, without public disclosure.

Rumour has it that she was in her dressing room, performing fellatio upon Argonauts' quarterback Conredge Holloway, with the door slightly ajar. The cleaning woman was curious, and was peeking through the door crack, and when noticed, the door was quickly shut, with the door handle hitting the cleaner in the eye, thus prompting the assault charge, as leverage against civil damages for keeping the above information out of The Sun. Just sayin'.
 
Sticking to the theme of news anschors:

Which news anchor famously welcomed our insect overlords? (please submit video proof of your answer)
 
Who is the only driver in Formula One history to lead the only Grand Prix he contested, (at least ten other drivers from that race are signed to drive F1 in 2012)?

Markus Winkelhock driving for Spyker in the 2007 European Grand Prix.

Actually I only make it 9 drivers from that race signed up for 2012... Webber, Button, Hamilton, Alonso, Massa, Rosberg, Raikkonen, Kovalainen and Trulli.

Vettel was not raced by Toro Rosso until the next race, replacing Scott Speed. Schumacher Sr was retired.

If Williams retain Barrichello for 2012 that would make the 10.....
