And thank you to the musical 1776 for my knowing this. Wish they'd saved this one for my turn.
I like the category title.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

If you didn't mean "
playing," it must be sick, indeed...

Oh, man. What a dream stack this would've been for me! I've read many biographies on Franklin, and I've seen the movie "1776" at least twice. I called Franklin before the choices even came up.
I'd be going for the quarter with all lifelines intact.

With no lifelines I figured she'd be one-and-done unless the question was square in her wheelhouse, which this wasn't. As for me, still having PAF and ATE I'd be using the PAF. Tom's mention of his best subjects being 60s and 70s pop culture would make me leery of using him for this one.

Many of the inside jokes on "Boy Meets World" were about William Daniels' previous work. Why else do you think Corey and Topanga went to John Adams High? Or that Bonnie Bartlett, Daniels' wife, was the dean of the college they attended?

I would have guessed Benjamin Franklin, (if I decided to be brave and throw caution to the wind), because the other choices didn't make sense to me. Washington, I don't think had children of his own. If John Adams had another son, at odds with America, then that would have been a major hurdle for JQ Adams to overcome to be president. Jefferson struck me as being too young to have a son at odds with America, at least if this was said of him at the time of the Revolution.

Jefferson only had daughters with his legal wife, anyway.
