    Nixon announced his resignation on August 8, 1974. It was effective the following day, Saturday, August 9, at noon.

  2. Howard says:

    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.

  3. Jason says:

    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!

  4. Rick says:

    The FJ was only too easy. Yes, it was Richard Nixon.

  5. Jacob Ska says:

    @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.

    • VJ says:

      @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.)

      • klm says:

        The winner’s bet wasn’t smart since she did not bet enough to cover the third place contestant if he got FJ right.

  6. Lou says:

    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.

  7. VJ says:

    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)

  8. JP says:

    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.
