In last night’s premiere of the second season of VH1 and Entertainment Weekly’s World Series of Pop Culture, winners were crowned and losers were booted from the stage. The first two teams to go head-to-head were Chicago’s Fat Guys in Little Coats against Austin’s Team Motherboy, and The White Russians from Louisville against Portland, Oregon’s, Remo-Leen-Teen-Teen. (Check the tournament chart here.) As  benevolent host and sometime Canadian news anchor Pat Kiernan watched, Team Motherboy mopped the floor with the Fat Guys (pictured above), and Remo-Leen-Teen-Teen basically killed The White Russians. It wasn’t pretty, but that’s pop culture.

Tonight’s competition features another two tough matches: Jammin’ on the 1 vs. Twisted Misters, and 3 Men and a Little Lazy against The Lucky Stars. The action goes down at 9 p.m. on VH1, but if you need to quell that jones for entertainment trivia, head to the show’s site, World of Pop, and play some games, or check out their blog — the detail is mindblowing.

If that’s still not enough, then perhaps we’ll try out a little trivia game of our own, right here, right now. This is a question that was asked of us over here at VH1 earlier today. It’s about five on the industry-regulated Ken Jennings Toughness Scale. Can you guess which children’s show first employed metal maniac and horror film maestro Rob Zombie? Leave your answers in the comments section below. Winners will be covered in glory, enjoy kudos, pats on the forehead, etc.
