Hm, I think I prefer Breyers Ice TRIVIA QUIZ!

Today is Good Morning America Day. The ABC-TV morning program debuted on this date in 1975.


Today is International Day for Preventing the Exploitation of the Environment in War and Armed Conflict, sponsored by the UN. Why such a long name?

On this day in 1984, 60-year-old William Gaines slept through an explosion that totally demolished his Fort Worth home. He was not injured.

On this day in 1986, Edy's Ice Cream insured the taste buds of ice cream taster John Harrison for $250-thousand.

On this day in 1997, almost a hundred drunk migrating song birds crashed into store windows in downtown Iowa City, Iowa. The birds had stopped to dine at a nearby berry tree where the berries were beginning to ferment. Local bird lovers quickly closed the saloon by spreading a tarp over it.

So, what's the longest-running television show? It started in 1947 and is still on the air. Here's a hint: it was a radio show before it became a TV show.

Good luck :)

Okay, I'm pretty sure it's "Guiding Light," but I'm never sure if soap operas count as TV shows. But that's my guess.

I'll guess the Today Show. But it could be the Tonight Show, or Guiding Light (my two other thoughts).

All good guesses, but it's actually Meet The Press: a show I'm certain all of us try to catch each Sunday morning ;)

damn and i thought i was so right! i looked it up though and the tonight show is from 1954! that's still a long time. and did you also know that leno is supposed to leave in '09? i don't really care about him either way but i know he has a huge fan base. i like letterman much better because he's weird/quirky.
