'The Wire'-themed Quizzo will be hosted by actor from the show

'The Wire' may have ended in 2008 but it's still widely considered one of the greatest TV shows of all time

Fans of the series can put their knowledge to the test at Quizzo hosted by  Brian Anthony Wilson, who played detective Vernon Holley on "The Wire." Wilson is a Philly native.

The trivia game will take place at 8 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 7, at Fairmount's London Grill.

During Quizzo, there will be Baltimore-themed food & drink specials for competitors.

Select beers will be $4 and there will be Baltimore Orange Crush drinks, which are made with orange vodka, vanilla vodka and orange juice, for $5.

The food specials include Baltimore-style crab cakes, a crab cake sandwich and french fries seasoned in Old Bay.

Season 1 marathon on HBO today

Re-watching the seasons out of order. Started with 1, now on 3, 2 next, then ending with 4.

I've always been conflicted on motivation for one of the biggest scenes in the show. Why does Stringer tell Avon he had D killed. Did he think the trail would lead back to him? Or was it ego driven.
