Nerdy Trivia: August 9, 2025

Bowling alleys feel like pocket dimensions where it’s always 1987 and wearing someone else’s shoes somehow makes sense. People have been chasing pins since Ancient Egypt, so don't let a few gutter balls ruin the vibe. And if you leave a split, borrow some zen from "The Big Lebowski" and call it a warmup.

The "Today" show launched in 1952 with Dave Garroway and a chimpanzee named J. Fred Muggs, which tells you everything you need to know about early television's approach to morning programming.

Who became the first woman to host the "Today" show?

Take a swing at some random trivia. When you get the answer, just hit "Random Question" to keep going!
