An alternative to the call sheet joke is the “Birthday Quiz“. Beyond just adding famous names born on the day on the call sheet… take a step further to a quiz.
1. Select a diverse group of famous names (performers, authors, musicians, scientists, explorers, etc.) that were born on the day of the call sheet
2. Challenge the crew to figure out why each of them is famous
3. Publish the answers on the following day
Here are a couple of sites that can help you generate the Birthday Quiz List:

So… for today (April 8), a special happy birthday to Gladys Marie Smith! And here’s a quotation from her:
“The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.”
Cheers & a good shoot to you,
