For a second I thought this was the WSJ thread, and boy was that scary!

772 since I started in August '20 for SOUTH AMERICA in early '21. I'd throw caution to the wind and say we get 787 for this one.

In June of 2020 (in the write-up for #627) Matt posted that the (then) subscription-era record was 683, and the pre-subscription was 723. The former was broken in July of that year (706 for #631 ABIGAIL ADAMS), and there were no higher counts through August. So I think we can rely on your records to declare the 772 for SOUTH AMERICA in January 21 (#658) as the all-everything record (although it wasn't mentioned in the brief write-up).

I'm baffled that the board didn't even break 700. I mean, really, all you had to do was Google Nov 13 and there's only a handful of celebrities who have that birthday. Any of the anchor answers would lead to the obvious choice.
