On this edition of Ozarks, what happens when snow and ice force a college to re-schedule finals…including putting finals after commencement?

Liz Taylor and Richard Burton argue (and argue) in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Bo Diddley demands Who Do You Love? Horton first hears a Who. The residents of Whoville celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. The Baha Men launch an ear worm called Who Let the Dogs Out? Abbot and Costello figure out Who's on First.

Apologies to the World Health Organization and WHO AM radio in Des Moines. Maybe next time.
