Live from Seattle, it's the TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Anniversary Day for former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary. They married 32 years ago today, when Bill was 29 and Hillary was 27. Chelsea Victoria was born in 1980.

Today is National Sausage Pizza Day.

Today is Dr. Pepper Baked Beans Appreciation Day.

On this day in 1972, Michael Galen of Cairns, Australia, set a world banana-eating record by downing 63 bananas in 10 minutes.

On this day in 1983, the last hand-cranked telephone system in the U. S. went out of service as 440 telephone customers in Bryant Pond, Maine, were switched over to direct-dial service.


On this day in 1992, maintenance workers in Alexandria, Indiana, solved a massive street flooding problem by removing a 200-pound hairball from the city sewer. OK, that is just about the grossest thing I've ever heard!

TV Trivia time: "Saturday Night Live" debuted on this day in 1975.It starred Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner. Who was the first host?

Good luck :)

That's a good question. How about Tim Conway, to throw out a random guess? If I remember correctly, it's Alec Baldwin and Sean Connery who have hosted the most, but I don't think they were that popular back in 1975.

It was actually George Carlin! NBC was very concerned that he'd use some "colorful language" on the new live show.

I'm still trying to figure out how Dr. Pepper and baked beans are related! Does this have something to do with those weird Boston baked beans candies?
