Z (joke line)
- ... that Zzzzzz was the busiest residential telephone number in the United States in the 1970s? Source: "THE WORLD'S most frequently dialed residential telephone number is a Los Angeles line that connects with an answering machine on the floor of Bob Bilkiss' closet, next to his shoes" (3).
- ALT1: ... that Zzzzzz found their announcer on a "live" show? Source: 'Z was now going on "live" for about an hour at a time twice a week. "We'd get so many callers offering to help us that we decided to get a P.O. Box so they could drop us a card with suggestions," said Bilkiss. "One day this guy John Shannon called and said he'd like to help. We liked his voice and we liked his ideas. He had had a lot of experience in production work' (5).

Article is long enough and new enough, no copyvio or plagiarism concerns, cited using reliable sources, intriguing hook. Do you still need to do your QPQ? For the article itself, I might suggest breaking up the longer paragraphs and adding subheadings - but pending QPQ confirmation, this DYK is ready to go.
