What's wrong with my code?

Question

So I've been messing around with my own little program, testing to see if you're part of my family, and all of the sudden I've begun to get an Error in the 3rd line and I donate understand what the problem is.
Thanks.
This program is testing if you're part of my family
name = input("What is your name? ")
lastname = input("What is your last name, {}? ".format(name)
fullname = name + " " + last_name
family = ["Mikkel Bielefeldt", "Lene Bielefeldt", "Lærke Bielefeldt", "Morten Bielefeldt", "Jette Bielefeldt", "Søren Bielefeldt", "Rikke Bielefeldt", "Jacob Risgaard", "Josefine Bielefeldt", "Isabella Bielefeldt", "Anne Bielefeldt", "Agnes Bielefeldt", "Janne Aagaard", "John Kirkegård", "Frederikke Aagaard", "Marie-Louise Aagaard", "Poul Aagaard", "Nikolaj Aagaard", "Else Aagaard", "Søren Aagaard"]
if fullname == "Mikkel Bielefeldt":
  print("Hey! How funny we're the same person")
elif fullname == "Lene Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my mom!")
Checks to see if it's my mom, dad or sister
elif fullname == "Morten Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my dad!")
elif fullname == "Lærke Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my sister!")
Checks to see if it's either of my grandparents
elif fullname == "Jette Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my grandmother")
elif fullname == "Søren Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my grandfather")
elif fullname == "Else Aagaard":
  print("You're my grandmother")  
elif fullname == "Søren Aagaard":
  print("You're my grandfather")
Checks to see if it's my cousins
elif fullname == "Nikolaj Aagaard":
  print("You're my cousin")
elif fullname == "Frederikke Aagaard":
 print("You're my cousin")
elif fullname == "Isabella Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my cousin")
elif fullname == "Josefine Bielefeldt":
  print("You're my cousin")
Checks to see if you're my aunts or uncles
Checks to see if you're my great grandma
elif fullname in family:
  print("You're part of my family {}!".format(name))
else:
  print("Maybe if you ask {}, you can be part of my family.".format(fullname))
  x
'''
Make something with y/n to check if they wanna be part of my family
If no they you want to "break"
If yes they need to go through a lot of stuff that they have to fill out
E.g. phone number, adress, how old they're and so on.
Maybe do something so that they cannot write numbers in their names and the opposite with phone numbers
Get their middle name and if they don't have one then skip (if len(middle_name) <1:) and then print out nothing if it's less than 1

It looks like the issue is actually a missing parenthesis at the end of the second line:
py
last_name = input("What is your last name, {}? ".format(name)     # original line
last_name = input("What is your last name, {}? ".format(name))    # fixed

I was able to spot this in the unformatted code, but for future questions please always use "Markdown" formatting.  There's a "cheat sheet" below, or you can watch this video on code formatting (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/code) to learn how.
