The ultimate Jeopardy! today’s results
The category of the final round in the Tuesday episode, June 14, 2022, is “1972”, and the clue is:
“In June, he said, ‘Don’t lie to them that it is not relevant, but just saying this is … A comedy of errors.”
The correct answer to the clue is, “Richard Nixon.”
In 1972, the “The Watergate” incident turned out to be one of the biggest historical scandals in the American bureaucracy, and it led to the downfall of Richard Nixon. Addressing the matter later, he said:
“When you come in… say, ‘Look at the point, this is going to open up the whole, whole Bay of Pigs, and the President just feels that, uh, without going into the details – no, don’t, don’t. . ‘don’t lie to them to the point of saying it’s not relevant, but just say that this is a comedy with errors …”
Take a look at the final result:
Megan Wachspress: $10,000 + $7,201 = $17,201 (Who is Richard Nixon?) (1 Day Total: $17,201)
Eric Ahasic: $18,600 – $1,401 = $17,199 (Who is John Dean?)
Barry Margulies: $9,000 – $8,000 = $1,000 (Who is Haldeman?)
It seems that only Megan Wachspress is familiar with the famous quote when she won all-out on today’s game show. She became the champion ending Eric Ahasic’s six-day winless streak. Considering the difference between their final amount was only 2 dollars, one could say that it was an extremely close end.
