Did Nixon cried on live television when he quit ?
I was watching a stand up from Louis CK and he's talking about that. Did someone can explain me what really happended that day ? (I think "that day" sound better than "this day" but I don't know why... Can you explain ? )

The link of the Stand up : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ABg0Vnpo50
What I'm talking about is at 3 minutes.

By the way, I invite you to discover Louis CK, he's really funny (Be carrefull, it's a bit trash).

Answer

He's probably referring to this speech where Nixon says goodbye to the White House staff. Around 12:30 he gets a bit choked up talking about his mother. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32GaowQnGRw
