  • HISTORY This Week: Nixon Does Whatever It Takes to Win in ’68

    HISTORY This Week: Nixon Does Whatever It Takes to Win in ’68
    Sep 16 2024

    This is a brand-new episode from HISTORY This Week, available wherever you listen to podcasts!


    September 16, 1968. Richard Nixon isn't exactly seen as a comedian. But tonight, he's trying to change that by appearing on Laugh-In, a TV show similar to Saturday Night Live. Nixon needs every vote he can get in the 1968 election, facing off against Hubert Humphrey, the vice president who became the Democratic nominee after Lyndon Johnson withdrew from the ticket.


    Nixon's Laugh-In appearance is a surprise, but soon, he'll pull off a move that no one would ever expect. How did back-channel dealings, unattended teleprompters, and Oval Office shouting matches turn this election into an all-time drama? And what do recently uncovered conversations reveal about how far Nixon was willing to go to secure victory?


    Special thanks to David Farber, professor of history at the University of Kansas and author of Chicago ‘68; Lawrence O’Donnell, host of The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell on MSNBC and author of Playing with Fire: The 1968 Election and the Transformation of American Politics; and Luke Nichter, professor of history at Chapman University and author of The Year That Broke Politics: Collusion and Chaos in the Presidential Election of 1968.

Thank you History Channel

Timing of the podcast couldn’t have been better. The same week women rights were lost in this country, the podcast gives an instant reminder of a great leader. “Leaders don’t choose followers. Followers choose leaders.” Thanks BJK

The most engaging sports podcast!

Kaelen is such an intelligent and creative storyteller. He brings new perspectives to history I thought I already knew and introduces new stories I am glad to learn.
This is my favorite sports podcast because it covers all kinds of sports, not just mainstream American sports.
