It's Time For The BuzzFeed Daily 2021 Pop Culture Quiz!

·25 min·2 clips

Casey Rackham reveals this is the final episode of BuzzFeed Daily, leaving listeners wondering why the show is ending.

The episode begins with the three hosts together for a rare recording, announcing this is BuzzFeed Daily's final episode after over 500 episodes. They express sadness about the show ending but decide to celebrate with a 2021 pop culture quiz. Producer Dan Bauza introduces himself and then surprises the hosts by bringing back Hayes Brown, the show's original host, to run the quiz. Hayes explains the rules: players buzz in using Zoom's raise hand feature, with correct answers earning points. The first question asks which celebrity couple sparked 'Showergate' by revealing they rarely bathe their kids; Stephen correctly answers Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Subsequent questions cover Olivia Rodrigo's song 'drivers license' being about Joshua Bassett, Bernie Sanders' meme at Biden's inauguration, and Daft Punk's breakup after 28 years, which Shiloh answers correctly. After a break, the quiz resumes with questions about Lil Nas X's pregnancy photo album promotion, Oprah's interview with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and the actors in Taylor Swift's 'All Too Well' video. The final question challenges players to name three women Pete Davidson has dated besides Kim Kardashian, leading to chaotic guesses and Shiloh winning with seven points. The hosts thank Hayes, reflect on the show's impact during the pandemic, and credit the production team before signing off.
