I figure if a living person who is either most famous for either politics or acting hasn’t had a lead role in a show or movie in the last 25 years… they’re probably most famous for politics.

The funny thing is, Nate Silver apparently voiced himself in an episode of The Simpsons in 2021, so there is a chance I could have given a "yes" answer to an acting question.

Threw a dart at the wall and got lucky! Great pick. New game will be up shortly.

Correct (not counting this as a question), and he is a journalist or writer about politics.

Again, you might want to find out which broad category this person is famous for rather than asking these extremely specific questions.

Yeah, this is absolutely correct. There have been a lot of wasted questions this round (including perhaps mine).

Is this person most famous for politics?

Yes.
