Nixon announced his resignation on August 8, 1974. It was effective the following day, Saturday, August 9, at noon.
Nixon’s the One (his campaign slogan). Sometimes the obvious is the way to go. This old fool graduated college in June 1972 and watched the Watergate hearings daily in 1973. I had a giant wall poster in college with a photo of Nixon and the caption “Would you buy a used car from this man?”
Forgot to mention that Megan made a terrific comeback in the latter part of the show.
I found those stumpers tough, other than the RSPCA and the midday grace period.
CHiPs? Really?
Nixon was easy peasy lemon squeezy. I get a feeling that Megan might go on a run, too, when she realized she didn’t wager enough on the poetry DD. She might fill into the role. We’ll see what tomorrow holds!
The FJ was only too easy. Yes, it was Richard Nixon.
@VJ, Wow. Eric depending on daily doubles and missing fj caught up with him today since he didn’t get a chance at a DD in this game. I wonder why he missed so many clues in fj because he sure has a wide range of knowledge.
@Jacob, Eric still finished in the lead without any DDs and he would have won if he didn’t make the easiest bet for his opponents to figure out. 🤣🤣🤣 (I don’t mind admitting that I find that very funny.)
The winner’s bet wasn’t smart since she did not bet enough to cover the third place contestant if he got FJ right.
Hi klm! That’s two people who wish they bet more
This reminded me of how Alex Jacob didn’t bet enough to win his 7th game. Still congrats to Eric on a great 6 game run as he has got a spot in the ToC. See you in November Eric. I think he and Ryan will have a rematch and soon.
I’m not so sure about that.
So funny — I was listening to an old episode of Law & Order from 1996 while I was putting the recap together and some evidence was missing. Jack McCoy said: “Even a pack rat like Nixon was short 18 minutes.” (referring to the 18-1/2 minutes of tape that Nixon’s secretary “accidentally” erased)
I guessed John Dean as well. Maybe I thought Nixon was too obvious an answer? I don’t know how much to blame my being born two decades after the conversation.
