Timothy will return for tomorrow’s show.

Ooh, that VP is a tough one. I had no idea. I know some presidents had no VPs and some had two or more, but I didn't know the exact number.

And he's a quasi-reluctant auditioner. His daughter evidently signed him up and told him that he needed to go into town on that particular day.

So I guess he's a WE®.

I thought it was a larger number - since I couldn't be sure, I'd JTQ also.

Here is the math.

Spoiler

Presidents with more than 1 VP
Jefferson (2)
Madison (2)
Jackson (2)
Lincoln (2)
Grant (2)
McKinley (2)
FDR (3)
Nixon (2)

That's 9 extra.

Presidents with no VP
Tyler
Fillmore
Andrew Johnson
Arthur

That subtracts 4 so you get a net of 5.

But George Clinton and John Calhoun served as VP for two different Presidents each so we are back to 3 extra VPs total.
