In Popular Culture
Comedian Groucho Marx often asked contestants on his television show, You Bet Your Life, who was buried in Grant's Tomb. The correct answer is "no one," since Grant and his wife are entombed, rather than buried. However, Marx often still accepted the answer "Grant," and awarded a consolation prize to those who gave it. He used the question to ensure that everyone won a prize on the show.
