Monday mornings just got a whole lot more interesting thanks to Jerry Steffen's "Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz" segment, brought to you by One Coachella Valley. Our beloved weatherman proved he's got more than just meteorological skills up his sleeve – turns out he can drop some serious hip-hop knowledge too.

Today's Holiday Lineup Had Something for Everyone

National Hip Hop Day took center stage as Jerry schooled viewers on the genre's New York City origins in the 1970s, name-dropping legends like Grandmaster Flash and NWA. But the real showstopper? Jerry's impromptu performance of "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang that had everyone cracking up. "Hip hop, the hippie to the hippie, the hip hip hop..." – Jerry's delivery was so spot-on, it could've been the actual recording!

National Face Mask Day got some clarification from our host – we're talking skincare, not hockey masks or COVID gear. Though Jerry did joke that everyone looking at him was probably thinking he should be wearing one. Self-deprecating humor at its finest!
