Jim from Arvada, CO – a friend

Jim chooses Danny and says he’ll never hear the end of it.

Jim reads the question and only gives the last names as choices.
Danny doesn’t answer before time expires.

Jim says at least now he can’t gloat and say how he saved me.

Jim makes D. Ronald Reagan his final answer.
Meredith says she thought that also.

I knew the $50K. I was screaming "Grover Cleveland" at the TV.

FTR, they could also have used Ulysses S. Grant for this one. His first name was Hiram-but he decided when he went to West Point that he'd get teased with the initials HUG on his luggage.

How 'bout Thomas Woodrow Wilson?

Wow that sounded snobby. I'm not doing that again. But I'll leave this one up so people get the false illusion that I'm not a total idiot.

I knew it wasn't Garfield (James Abram Garfield) or Reagan (Ronald Wilson Reagan). So it's time to Double Dip, using B and C as my answers.
