[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the September 20, 2023 episode of Jeopardy!.] Jeopardy! hosts often ask players to be more specific with their answers during a game. When it comes to the September 20 game, however, fans think Ken Jennings unnecessarily asked a player to expand their response. The clue came during Double Jeopardy, when players were tackling “The Real (White House) Wives of D.C.” category. The clues, as the category title denotes, were all about former First Ladies. When Alex Lamb, a data scientist from Lake Forest, California, selected the $1,200 clue, it read, “She met the future president in 1938 when they both tried out for a local play in Whittier, California.” Alex got the last name, Nixon, right, but Jennings said he needed a more specific response. When Alex fumbled and said Richard, instead of Pat, Nixon, competitor Brian Ross, an attorney from Los Angeles, was able to chime in and win that clue. Some viewers feel this was ...

Barbara Walters, America’s first female anchor on an evening news broadcast, has died at age 93, her longtime ABC home network said.
She died on Friday at her home in New York, Robert Iger, chief executive of ABC’s corporate parent, the Walt Disney Co, said on Twitter. No more details have been shared yet.
“She will be missed by all of us at The Walt Disney Company, and we send our deepest condolences to her daughter, Jacqueline,” Mr Iger said in a statement.
In a career that spanned five decades, Walters became one of television’s most prominent interviewers and shattered several glass ceilings in an industry once dominated by men.
She interviewed some of the biggest names in the world, including Fidel Castro, Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein and every US president and first lady since Richard and Pat Nixon.

Fifty years ago, the Watergate scandal chewed up and spit out a lot of men in Richard Nixon's orbit. But there was also a woman who was unceremoniously thrown to the wolves as the walls started to close in around the 37th president of the United States. Martha Mitchell was the wife of former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell, who left the Justice Department to manage Nixon's re-election campaign. Stylish, charming and more in demand for magazine covers and talk shows than first lady Pat Nixon, Martha was the irrepressible life of the party—until the outspokenness that made her a favorite of Washington society proved a little too unpredictable for Nixon...

In Gaslit, Starz’s new retelling of the Watergate conspiracy, it’s no surprise that G. Gordon Liddy is the first to grab the mic. “History isn’t written by the feeble masses — the pissants, the commies, the queers and the women,” the political zealot tells us. “It is written and rewritten by soldiers carrying the banner of kings.” As he lectures, he’s scorching his hand over an open flame and embracing the pain.

Many of us know parts of the story of President Richard Nixon’s fall from grace, leading to his 1974 resignation. Two years before, Nixon’s paranoid streak had led to greenlighting the 1972 so-called White House Plumbers break-in at Democratic Party offices in DC’s posh Watergate Hotel, orchestrated by Attorney General John Mitchell. As a tween, I watched the political scandal unfurl on the nightly news over family dinners, with my outraged lefty father screaming at the TV and broadcaster “Uncle” Walter Cronkite while we booed Nixon alongside him. But, as I picked my way through adolescence, I didn’t know the epic details of the story “Gaslit” reveals.
Based on the first season of Leon Neyfakh’s granular “Slow Burn” podcast, with “Mr. Robot’s” Robbie Pickering as showrunner, the eight-part limited series flips the script. It puts Mitchell’s wife Martha at its center and reexamines the scandal...

Ever since she slinked her way onto the screen as a con woman who befuddles her targets with her luminous sex appeal in 1990’s “The Grifters,” Annette Bening has rarely been less than memorable on the big screen no matter the quality of the movie. She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for that early career-making breakout performance, but lost to Whoopi Goldberg in “Ghost.”
She has since collected a trio of Academy Award bids as a lead, starting with 1999’s “American Beauty”as a nagging suburban housewife who belittles and cheats on her husband (Kevin Spacey) as he suffers through a midlife crisis.

Helen Thomas, the irrepressible White House correspondent who used her seat in the front row of history to grill nine presidents - often to their discomfort - and was not shy about sharing her opinions, died Saturday. She was 92. Thomas, who died at her apartment in Washington, had been ill for a long time, and in and out of the hospital before coming home Thursday, according to a friend, Muriel Dobbin. Thomas made her name as a bulldog for United Press International in the great wire-service rivalries of old, and as a pioneer for women in journalism. She was persistent to the point of badgering.

The best South by Southwest party was the Brigade Marketing bash at Cheer Up Charlie’s last night. Not that I didn’t work for all those gin and tonics. (I like to keep malaria at bay.) First thing yesterday morning, bright and early, saw me skittering through traffic on the freeway to get to Progress Coffee for the “Loves Her Gun” shoot ‘em up event in nearby Pflugerville, Texas. You can read the thrilling details here, but the short version is that shooting guns is an oddly seductive experience. And Monday is ladies day at this particular range. Afterward, I had to dash over to a nearby Hilton (unlike the one I am staying at, I assume that employees at that Hilton aren...

If "Argo" wins Best Picture as Oscar prognosticators are predicting after its sweep of the DGA and SAG awards, it won't be the first time a film won without having its director nominated. Granted, it's rare: The last time was in 1989, with "Driving Miss Daisy." However, there are other ways that the 85th Academy Awards, which will be held on February 24, might set several Oscar firsts. 1. If Daniel Day-Lewis wins Best Actor, he will be the only actor to have won three Oscars in this category. Jack Nicholson is currently the Oscar record holder with three wins, but one of those was for Best Supporting Actor (for 1983's "Terms of Endearment.") 3. If Emmanuelle Riva wins Best Actress for "Amour," she will be the oldest Best Actress winner in history. At 85, she's already set a record as the oldest Best Actress nominee. Jessica Tandy, who won for "Driving Miss Daisy" when...

New York – The no-neck, round-shouldered posture and the bulldog expression are the first things that register about Anthony Lapaglia as Richard Nixon. Next is the voice, which suggests rather than imitates the famous intonations. Finally, the psychological shadings are sketched in, conveying the prickliness of a man with a chronic inferiority complex. Kathryn Erbe applies similar gradations to shaping Pat Nixon, guiding her from a chirpy Donna Reed-style caricature to a vulnerable woman whose backbone and dignity are offset by a deep well of melancholy. Both actors deserve a less superficial play than Douglas McGrath’s Checkers.

Was President Richard Nixon engaged in a decades-long gay affair with a man the feds believed had mob ties? According to a new biography of the 37th President, this could be the case.
In the new book "Nixon's Darkest Secrets: The Inside Story of America's Most Troubled President," Don Fulsom, a former Upi Washington bureau chief, writes that Nixon and Charles (Bebe) Rebozo had a relationship that may have extended beyond their well-known friendship.
Fulsom writes that Nixon and Rebozo, whom the FBI believed was laundering money for the mafia, were once spotted holding each other "the way you'd cuddle your senior prom date." Fulsom also says the two were once seen holding hands during a dinner, the New York Daily News reports.
In addition to this shocking report, the book also states that Nixon used to beat his wife, First Lady Pat Nixon. It adds the late President Nixon...

Review in a Hurry: The true-life account of the "world's greatest racehorse" deserves better than this bland adaptation from the Disney factory. Worthy of the glue factory? Neigh! Secretariat is probably a safe bet for devoted horse-lovers, but others should pony up for a different flick. The Bigger Picture: Following in the hoofsteps of Seabiscuit, this underdog horse tale chronicles the amazing journey of the 1973 Triple Crown winner. Wobbly Secretariat stumbles over a number of hurdles, though, notably Mike Rich's generic script, which trots out one cliché after another during its long gallop to the finish line.
