Happy Donald Duck Day! Test Your Holiday Knowledge with Jerry's Pop Quiz

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 is packed with some truly unique holidays, and if you did not have International Dark and Stormy Day on your radar, here is a fun one. The day celebrates a cocktail with roots tracing back nearly a century to the British Navy stationed in Bermuda, where sailors first brewed ginger beer as a remedy for seasickness, then added a splash of rum and a squeeze of lime to sweeten the deal. Cheers to that.

It is also World Pet Memorial Day, observed every second Tuesday in June, a day set aside to reflect on and honor beloved pets that have passed.

The biggest holiday on today's calendar, though, is National Donald Duck Day. On this date in 1934, the famously flustered Disney character made his very first screen appearance in the animated short film "The Wise Little Hen," and nearly a century later he is still one of the most recognizable characters in animation history.

In honor of Donald's big day, Jerry is testing viewers with two Donald Duck trivia questions in this morning's pop quiz. Think you know your Disney history? Or your rock and roll history? Watch the video and find out.
