This The Rehearsal trivia quiz has 60 free questions with answers about Nathan Fielder's HBO docu-comedy, covering both seasons from Kor's confession at a replica Alligator Lounge to Nathan landing a Boeing 737 full of actors. The easy questions are for anyone who watched: the network, the premiere years, the bar, the robot baby, the fake son Adam, the acting studio, the airport terminal built on a soundstage and the pilot's licence. The harder ones go episode by episode: the Raising Cane's replica, the numerology-obsessed Robbin, the Oregon child-labour rules that forced the baby swaps, Nate's Lizard Lounge, Dr. Fart, Remy and 'pretend daddy', John Goglia, Moody and Cindy in the simulated cockpit, Wings of Voice and Canadian Idol, the cloned dog Achilles, the Sully Sullenberger childhood re-creation and the Evanescence theory, Colin and 'The Pack', the meeting with Congressman Steve Cohen, and 'The Miracle over the Mojave'. There are also questions on the show's origins in Nathan for You, its ratings, reviews and the debate about whether it is cruel or profound. Every answer was checked against the show's Wikipedia article and Nathan Fielder's, and each question shows its citation once you have answered.

Q 01On which network did The Rehearsal premiere in July 2022?
HBO
HBO renewed the series before its first season had even finished airing. Fielder's earlier show, Nathan for You, had run on Comedy Central.
Q 02In The Rehearsal, what does Kor want to confess to his trivia team?
He lied about having a master's degree

Q 03Which Brooklyn bar does Nathan recreate in full scale for Kor's rehearsal?
The Alligator Lounge
The Alligator Lounge replica outlived Kor's rehearsal: Nathan kept the set in an Oregon warehouse and went on using it himself, holding meetings and nursing beers at its bar.
Q 04In The Rehearsal's premiere, Kor compares Nathan to which fictional character?
Willy Wonka
Willy Wonka comes to Kor's mind as Nathan walks him through an exact, full-scale copy of his local trivia bar, built purely so that he can practise one awkward conversation.
Q 05In The Rehearsal, how does Kor's real confession to Tricia go?
She responds with understanding
She responds with understanding, and the two end up closer than before. Kor had dreaded the moment so much that he warned Nathan her reaction might turn violent.
Q 06In The Rehearsal, how does Angela's garden yield a harvest on the sped-up timeline?
Store-bought vegetables are planted
Store-bought vegetables are planted in the soil by the crew for Angela to dig up. Nathan tries similar tricks on himself, including mirrors that digitally age his face, and admits he envies those who can just believe.
Q 07In The Rehearsal, why does Nathan's crew keep swapping the baby actor in Angela's house?
Child labor laws
Child labor laws cap a baby actor's working hours, so the crew quietly swaps in a fresh infant through the day. At night a robot baby takes over, and the crew can set off its cries on demand.
Q 08Angela's simulated husband Robbin is obsessed with what?
Numerology
Numerology shapes how Robbin reads the world: he sees messages in the numbers around him. He lasts less than a night as co-parent, leaving when the robot baby will not stop crying.
Q 09In The Rehearsal, what does Nathan wear strapped to his chest while directing a run-through?
A laptop
A laptop hangs from a harness as he looks on, having mapped every way the conversation might go in sprawling flowcharts.
Q 10Why does Angela refuse to take part in Halloween?

Q 11In The Rehearsal, Patrick's rehearsal takes place in a replica of which restaurant chain?
Raising Cane's
Raising Cane's was rebuilt inside a warehouse so Patrick could practise confronting his brother, the executor of their grandfather's will, who is withholding his share over the woman he is dating.
Q 12How does Nathan try to bring real emotion into Patrick's rehearsal?
Convincing him he could inherit buried gold
Convincing him he could inherit buried gold took an actor playing a grandfather, a dig in the woods and a staged death. Patrick then wept through his rehearsal, and never came back.

Q 21In The Rehearsal's first-season finale, which young performer keeps calling Nathan 'daddy' after his scenes end?
Remy
Remy has grown up without a father, and at home he calls Nathan his 'pretend daddy'. Nathan visits to explain it was all make-believe, which the boy resists.
Q 22In the final scene of The Rehearsal's first season, whom does Nathan play?
A child actor's mother
A child actor's mother is the part: Nathan replays her time on the show opposite an older boy standing in for her son. He then seems to break character, telling the boy, 'I'm your dad.'
Q 23In The Rehearsal's second-season premiere, which recurring figure stands for Nathan's fear of not being taken seriously?
A clown
Covertly observing and imitating unaware people
Covertly observing and imitating unaware people amounts to stalking, a word the actors in his class use themselves. Their first assignment is to follow a stranger and come back dressed as them.
Q 14When Nathan re-stages his own acting class in The Rehearsal, which part does he play?
One of his students
One of his students: Nathan sits in the class as Thomas, its most reluctant pupil, while an actor plays him at the front. He then goes further and turns up in the real Thomas's home.
Q 15In The Rehearsal, what storyline does the teenage Adam get?
He develops a drug problem and overdoses
He develops a drug problem and overdoses after Nathan, back from a long absence, coaches the teen actor to resent a missing father. The spiral echoes what Angela had told him about her own youth.
Q 16In The Rehearsal, what happens to Adam after his teenage version runs away?
He reverts to age six

Q 17Under what pretense does Nathan take Adam to lessons with a Judaism tutor?
Swimming
Swimming is the cover story because Angela, a devout Christian, has vetoed any Jewish education for the boy. Nathan coaches the young actor to keep up the lie when they get home.
Q 18Under what name does Nathan open his replica bar to the public?
Nate's Lizard Lounge
He is looking for solace outside the house as the co-parenting arrangement sours.
Q 19In The Rehearsal, Adam's comedy skit character, which sparks a fight between the co-parents, is called what?
Dr. Fart
Dr. Fart is a doctor who prescribes his patient, played by Nathan, a diet of poop. Nathan is delighted with the home video; Angela is disgusted and no longer hides it.
Q 20In The Rehearsal, how does Nathan's real final confrontation with Angela end?
She simply quits the rehearsal
She simply quits the rehearsal, with none of the fury that the actor playing her had shown in practice. Nathan carries on alone, raising his fake son as a single father.
A clown stuck under his own van, honking for help while onlookers laugh, is the image the episode keeps returning to. Nathan ends it hopeful: 'Maybe a clown can change the world after all.'
Q 24Between seasons of The Rehearsal, Nathan Fielder co-created and starred in which series?

Q 25Which real airport's terminal did Nathan partly recreate in California for The Rehearsal's second season?
George Bush Intercontinental, Houston
George Bush Intercontinental, Houston, kept his cameras out of its pilots' areas, so Nathan built his own terminal and filled it with some 70 actors, each of whom had shadowed a real person at the airport.
Q 26Who is John Goglia, Nathan's adviser in season two?
A former NTSB member
A former NTSB member, Goglia had once urged that first officers be trained through role-play to challenge their captains. Nathan wins him over by inviting him to lecture, then pitching the show afterwards.
Q 27In The Rehearsal, first officer Moody worries that his girlfriend Cindy is being hit on at her job as what?
A Starbucks barista

Q 28In The Rehearsal, what is Wings of Voice?
A fake singing competition used to test co-pilots
A fake singing competition used to test co-pilots, it makes them turn hopefuls down face to face. The singers then rate their judges out of ten, and Nathan, taking a turn in the chair, scores poorly.
Q 29In The Rehearsal, Nathan recalls a job at 23 turning away hopefuls on which show?
Canadian Idol
Canadian Idol had him cutting hopefuls in small rooms with no cameras, city after city. He says the dread of crushing people there is why he thinks some co-pilots cannot say no to a captain.
Q 30In The Rehearsal, which co-pilot's top likeability score prompts Nathan to copy her style?
Mara'D
Mara'D averaged above nine out of ten from the people she had to turn down. Nathan borrows her habit of calling everyone 'fantastic' and 'beautiful', and still cannot match her.
