Re: Guess Star

This works because (as I understand it) the guest star is also, in many cases, a surprise star, so that the audience is likely to have been kept guessing as to who it will be?

Re: Guess Star

This

“This film lived up to the Hype, and it also had a mystery GUESS STAR (it didn’t hit me who it was until mid way to the end)”

spells out the rationale quite clearly, although it might have been done on purpose.

Re: Guess Star

Blown punchline
your mamma is so fat she wore guest jeans and the answer popped out

Flammable disguises
Out of the 2,300 people that attended, I would hazard a guest to state that over 500 people at least were in some type of costume over the weekend.

WTFT is my guest for these.
