TFI Friday Trivia

The title of TFI Friday officially stood for "Thank Four It's Friday" but everyone knew that it unofficially was "Thank Fu*k It's Friday. On the other hand, the original inspiration for the title was from the popular phrase, "Thank God It's Friday".

Chris Evans left the series as host after the fifth season ended. For the final (sixth) season of TFI Friday, there was a different guest host each week.
