Possible Jimmy Carter reference in latest clue. He was president from 77-81 which essentially knocked out the only years left before the 1990s.

I'm guessing 1999.

My mind tends toward pop culture. Just what I'm familiar with, I guess.  What's the Jimmy Carter connection?

Congrats fuschnikt. I would post the A Winner Is You image but I'm on my phone, and cannot.

Yes! Finally, a winner is me! Thanks, Vapor! So, what was the official thought process on that last one? Was it Jimmy Carter?

Yes, it was old Jimmy C.

1998... year of the infamous Godzilla "American Style" horror.

Yeah, 1998.  That's what I meant to say.

Yup same here, meant to type 1998 but with the 8 key being right next to the 9 key....accidents happen.

I would have said 1998 as well had it not been for stupid me realizing 1997 was already taken.
