Lionel Richie
There are lines for a prince and a princess in the original script. Here they meet each other for the first time and he refuses to get married to her.
Princess: Hello, I am Chiyo.
Prince: ...Hi! Well, who was the first president of the U.S.A?
Princess: Well... Lionel Richie?
Prince: Thank you. That's all.
I thought this scene was funny because he turned down the marrige only because she didn't know George Washington. Someone said her reply was also funny. But I didn't laugh at all because I didn't know Lionel Richie!
Lionel Richie is an American singer who started his career in The Commodores, and it got be a nationally popular Motown band during 70's. Hmm, I haven't heard the name of the band. Oh, he collaborated with Michael Jackson on the charity single "We Are The World" by USA For Africa in 1985? I know this song. Maybe that's it.
... and why does the princess say Lionel Richie as the first president of the United States? I guess his name was popular around when the drama was performed first in 1986.

As you know it or not, Halley's commet came near the earth last in 1986. So the first play was really memorable one, I think.
Now there're different lines in this part with script Ver.3. That's more easy to make the audience laugh. Please check it!
