On the season finale which was almost it's series finale had it not been for it's many fans and their sending in pounds and pounds of nuts to CBS, Jericho told a story of WW2 about telling the Germans "Nuts" to a request to surrender which they used at toward the end of the show.
Did you know that really happened.
On December 16, taking advantage of the cold and the fog, the German artillery started the so-called Battle of the Bulge by attacking the sparsely deployed American troops around Bastogne. A few days later, General McAuliffe and the 101st Airborne Division arrived to counter-attack but, after heavy fighting, got encircled in the city. On December 22, German emissaries asked for the American surrender, to which the General’s answer was quite brief: “Nuts!”
