Monday’s Hashtag Holiday Calendar: Bugs, Mac and Cheese, and a Nude Pop Quiz

Monday’s Hashtag Holiday Calendar segment on The Morning News delivered a lighthearted mix of trivia and conversation, highlighting some lesser-known national days celebrated on July 14.

Among the day’s official observances:

• National Be Nice to Bugs Day: A reminder to appreciate insects and their role in the ecosystem.

• National Mac and Cheese Day: A classic comfort food gets its moment in the spotlight, with a special shout-out to local eatery I Heart Mac and Cheese in Palm Springs.

• National Grand Marnier Day: Honoring the popular citrus liqueur used in cocktails and desserts.

• National Nude Day: Playfully noted during the broadcast, reminding everyone that yes — everyone is technically “nude” underneath their clothes.

To tie it all together, Tim O’Brien hosted a themed pop quiz. The first question asked viewers to name the hip-hop artist behind the hit song “Hot in Herre,” known for its iconic line: “It’s getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes.” The answer: Nelly.

The second question focused on the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun film series. Viewers were asked which actor will take over the role of Police Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr. in the new release: Chris Pratt, Liam Neeson, or Will Ferrell. The answer? Liam Neeson.
