Next, I’m going with the Exxon Valdez spill because I’m pretty sure that happened in March or April.

The Exxon Valdez spill. Did that happen before The Simpsons? (correct)(audience cheers) March 24, 1989. That's the same day $ale of the Century with Jim Perry ended. Three more right answers, Kyle. What's the next one?

I think the Oscars happened in March, so I’ll try Rain Man getting the Best Picture.

Greg: Alright, Kyle... if "Rain Man" won a statuette before the Series Premiere of "The Simpsons", you'll be one step away from winning the game and leveling the match. First things first... this needs to be a right answer...15 minutes to Wapner! *Points at the board* (Correct!)(cheers and applause) Rain Man won 4 Academy Awards on March 29, 1989. Kyle,you need just one more correct answer. Frank,clutch something lucky and hope you can jump in. It could come down to this answer. 4 good answers, 4 bad answers remaining. For the game and a tie in the match, Kyle,. Which of these events happened before the series premiere of "The Simpsons"?

I will take a guess and go with Taylor Swift's birth.

If Taylor Swift was born before The Simpsons, we've got a tie game. If not, Frank has a chance to take it all. Taylor Swift? (correct)It's tied up! [END OF BOARD](audience cheers) (ding)Let's take a look at the other right answers. The Satanic Verses are published, the first GPS satellites were launched, and the Berne Convention was ratified in the United States. By the way, Taylor was born December 13, 1989. I was born June 7, 1989. Well done, Kyle. It's all tied up, one all. Here comes the decider!

(the board is loaded in)[PRESIDENTS BORN IN VIRGINIA] Virginia is the birth state for 8 United States presidents. The obvious question now is, how many of them can you name? Frank, we start the bidding with you.
