Clues use the first two letters as the initials of eight famous people. The clues include: a scowling judge on "America's Got Talent"; an employer at Tesla and SpaceX; a CNN host; a chariot-riding actor in "Ben-Hur"; an eminent French leader; the playwright of "Death of a Salesman"; the aviator who crossed the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis; and the leader who helped the Mormon Church settle in Utah.
