Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons, two thirds of the blues rock trio ZZ Top, play a quiz about a famous miser, Hetty Green. Known as the Witch of Wall Street, Green was incredibly wealthy by the time she died in 1916 -- but she was famous for never parting with a nickel if she could help it.

This segment was originally broadcast on April 3, 2010.
