Bubbles, Argyle, and Show & Tell: Thursday's Quirky Holidays Have It All

Think you left show and tell behind in elementary school?

Think again! Thursday, January 8th, 2026, brings National Show and Tell at Work Day—so dust off that interesting trinket and give your coworkers something to talk about.

But that's not all on the calendar. It's also National Argyle Day, so feel free to rock those diamond-patterned socks or sweaters with Scottish pride. And after a long day? National Bubble Bath Day has you covered. Time to break out the Mr. Bubble and soak your stress away.

Speaking of bubbles, NBC Palm Springs weatherman Jerry Steffen put the morning crew to the test with two bubble-themed trivia questions. Think you know your stuff? Here's your chance to play along:

2) In the made-for-TV movie "The Boy in the Bubble," which actor played Todd, a teen living in a plastic environment due to a compromised immune system?
