Match Iowans with their TV shows

You know that Shawn Johnson won “Dancing With the Stars,” that

“Tonight Show” legend Johnny Carson was born in Corning and that Cloris Leachman of Des Moines was on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

But just how extensive is your knowledge of Iowans on television?

Take this quiz and find out. Match the actor or actress with the series in which that person was a member of the regular cast.

Keen eyes will notice that there are 15 people listed but only 13 TV shows. That’s because one pair of Iowans was on one show, and another pair on another show.

The names are followed by the places of birth, with the exception of Annabeth Gish, who was born in New Mexico but was raised in Cedar Falls.
