It's No Joke, Today's Holiday Calendar Is Full of Heart, Laughter, and a Little Rock and Roll

First up, it's Absolutely Incredible Kid Day, a holiday dedicated to writing notes of encouragement to the children in your life, reminding them just how special, loved, and valued they are. A pat on the back goes a long way too.

Then there's International Read to Me Day, a reminder of how powerful reading together can be for building literacy, confidence, and connection. Whether your kids are little or not so little anymore, curling up with a good book never gets old.

And rounding out the trio is National Let's Laugh Day, because science agrees, a good guffaw is genuinely good for you. It boosts confidence, melts away stress, and just plain feels great.

Speaking of laughing, that was the perfect theme for today's Pop Quiz, and Jerry brought two brain-ticklers to test the studio. Think you've got what it takes? Watch the video and find out!
