It's November 10th, and today we celebrate a much-loved TV program that has educated and entertained children for a generation.And you know what?Adults love it, too.Sunny days have been officially sweeping the clouds away for 55 years.
On this day in 1969, Sesame Street, the pioneering show that has taught generations of children the alphabet and how to count, made its broadcast debut.
The show was the brainchild of a former documentary producer named Joan Ganz Cooney, who hired puppeteer Jim Henson to create a cast of characters including Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch, and Big Bird that are adored by millions of children.
Surprising fact?Sesame Street has aired in more than 120 countries, making it the world's most widely viewed children's program. Also on this day in history, in 1903, inventor Mary Anderson received a patent for the windshield wiper.
And in 1975, the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, killing all 29 men aboard.Thanks for listening.That's all for today in history.Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe.
Tune in tomorrow to learn a little bit more about the world around you.And of course, have a great day.
