In 1010, It was 10:10:10 on 10/10/1010.

In 1886, Griswold Lorillard wore the first dinner jacket to the Autumn Ball in Tuxedo Park, New York. Thus the name 'tuxedo.' Perhaps he then went to Nashville to introduce it there, but he nixed the idea of modifying the name of his invention with the state he was in that night. He didnʹt want to name his invention…the Tennessee Tuxedo. Boy I tell you, this invention surely didnʹt fail.

In 1910, It was 10:10:10 on 10-10-10

In 1920, The Chicago Cardinals play to a 0-0 tie with the Chicago Tigers in their first American Professional Football Association game. The game is held at Cubs Park, later renamed Wrigley Field. The Cardinals would later move to Saint Louis and then Phonenix in the coming decades.

In 1936, The Mickey Mouse film, “Mickeyʹs Elephant” is released. Pluto also appears.

In 1939, The Donald Duck film, “Officer Duck” is released.

In 1946, Born on this day was US folk and country singer John Prine. He released his debut album in 1971, and put out 19 studio albums in all. While wider mainstream success eluded him for years, he earned a sizeable following, including some of the 20th century’s greatest songwriters. Bob Dylan said in 2009: “Prine’s stuff is pure Proustian existentialism. Midwestern mind trips to the nth degree. And he writes beautiful songs.” He died aged 73 on April 7, 2020 due to complications from Covid-19.

In 1952, The Donald Duck film, “Trick or Treat” is released. Huey, Dewey, and Louie also appear.

In 1952, “The Adventures Of Ozzie And Harriet”, TV Comedy, debut on ABC. It wasnʹt really an adventure, just like the CBS Late Movie wasnʹt a movie.

In 1953, At 10 a.m., “Winky-Dink And You” becomes the first interactive cartoon and/or video game. If you have a “Winky-Dink” kit you can place the green plastic sheet over your television screen and help create props to help out the showʹs pixie-ish title character and his dog Woofer in their adventures narrated by Jack Barry. The original kit containing a clear screen is available by mail for fifty cents, but a deluxe version is also sold in toy stores for $2.95, which includes a set of crayons and a cleaning cloth. The problem with this show was that kids would just take regular crayons and draw on their TV screens, leading to unhappy mommies. Stations sometimes dropped the show just to avoid those calls.

In 1953, R.C., “Little Blue Riding Hood” Makes The Pop Chart by Stan Freberg with Daws Butler and June Foray; will peak at number nine.

In 1958, “Kookie Combs His Hair!” Efrem Zimbalist Jr. and Roger Smith team up as neato-coolo buddy detectives in “77 Sunset Strip”, TV Crime Drama with Edd “Kookie” Byrnes as a scene-stealing teen, debuting as a pilot on ABC. Actor Edd Byrnesʹs character was a homicidal thug named Smiley in the movie pilot of the detective show “77 Sunset Strip”. But his James Dean flair and wavy hair caught on with audiences immediately, so the producers rechristened him Kookie and brought him back as a regular. Kookieʹs hepcat phrases, like “the ginchiest” (the greatest) or “piling up the Zʹs” (sleeping), were adopted by teenagers everywhere, and his trademark gesture — sliding his comb sensuously through his pomaded pompadour — spawned the hit song “Kookie, Kookie, Lend Me Your Comb” with Connie Stevens.

In 1960, R.C., “Mr. Custer” by Larry Verne peaked at number one on the pop singles chart.

In 1962, The BBC banned Bobby “Boris” Pickettʹs hit single “Monster Mash” because the network thought the song was offensive. Although the tune is neither obscene or controversial, itʹs about a horror-movie-star record hop, “Monster Mash,” like many other songs, is banned under a catch-all regulation prohibiting the broadcast of anything deemed “offensive.” It still went on to become a graveyard smash.

In 1964, Gilliganʹs Island episode number three. “Voodoo Something To Me”. The Skipper fears that the island is full of 'voodoo' when he thinks that Gilligan has been turned into a monkey.

In 1966, Gilliganʹs Island episode #73. “Voodoo”. A witch doctor makes voodoo dolls from the Castawaysʹ personal objects, which he has stolen from their huts. Gilligan stumbles upon the hidden voodoo dolls and brings them back to the Castaways. He then fashions a voodoo doll in the likeness of the witch doctor, to fight fire with fire!

Jacksonʹs movie, 'The Long Kiss Goodnight,' Conan instead showed a flipbook; when two guys walked onto the makeshift set unaware Conan was taping, Conan said, 'It doesnʹt get any crappier than this.'
