We learned this in a Daily Double in this game on January 6. (Search for "Paul" to find the clue.) I don't know if everyone forgot or thought using it would be the kind of cleverness that backfires or needed both Madison and Monroe for other categories.
B. Thomas Jefferson - works with Thomas Christopher "Chris" Parnell and James Thomas "Jimmy" Fallon, Jr. (1)

A truly impressive performance by goforthetie. Only twice did he score more than 2 points. That was here and on Category 6 where he identified John Adams as Washington's veep. He got a zero for his HONEST ABE and another one for his TRICKY DICK. He scored six singletons.
What can we do but congratulate him and move to the Final Reveal and Awards Ceremony to see who took second and third?
