Today’s Saturday Stumper

The Newsday  Saturday Stumper no longer drops on Fridays at 4:00 PM Central, so I’m stuck doing the puzzle on Saturday morning. Which is perhaps the way it’s supposed to be done. Today’s Stumper, by Brad Wilber, has too much EYKIOYD — either you know it or you don’t — for my taste. Too much trivia. I had to look up two answers, and after finishing the puzzle, I looked up a third because I couldn’t quite believe it.

Some clue-and-answer pairs of note:

1-A, eight letters, “’80s bestseller that became an Android app in 2013.” I am ashamed to say that I had to look this one up. But bestseller, 2013, and Android put me at a loss. I know nothing about Android apps, then or now.

4-D, six letters, “Shout from a Looney Tunes mouse.” Had to look it up.

5-A, five letters, “Gardeners may work on them.” Nicely Stumper-y.

5-D, four letters, “Alerted nonverbally.” I knew this one was meant to be tricky.

5-D, five letters, “Initial inductee in the Modern Drummer Hall of Fame.” A worthy member, but I’d rather have seen JONES, Elvin or Jo.

16-A, eight letters, “Buffet.” Noun? Verb?

24-D, seven letters, “1992 Nestlé acquisition.” Shall I check my timeline of Nestlé acquisitions? Sheesh.

26-D, four letters, “Book on the Celebrate the Century stamp sheet with FDR.” I don’t think FDR is a justification for this answer. Pretty ridic, even for a Stumper.

35-A, thirteen letters, “Chart-topping instrumental of ’76.” Here’s the answer I couldn’t quite believe.

36-D, eight letters, “You might do it for your own sake.” I was not fooled.

50-A, four letters, “Don’t settle.” My first thought was RANT.

63-A, eight letters, “Shakedown party.” Timely.

My favorite in this puzzle: 38-A, thirteen letters, “Time 's Best Comedy Sketch of the 20th Century.” For sentimental reasons. But I think there has to be a better way to clue it.

No spoilers; the answers are in the comments.
