📜 May 8: On This Day in History |  | Shaken, not stirred |  Image: Dr. No (1962) | Each of the following events happened on May 8. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom! - A) Dr. No hits theaters in America, giving North American moviegoers their first look at the super-spy James Bond (codename: 007). The now-immortal character is first portrayed onscreen by the relatively unknown Scottish actor Sean Connery.
- B) The first Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is held, attracting large crowds over four days. It goes on to become one of the oldest continuously running sporting events in the US, second only to the Kentucky Derby.
- C) Betty White becomes the oldest person to host the long-running, late-night TV sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live. White’s hosting gig came about after hundreds of thousands of her fans signed onto a Facebook campaign rallying for it.
- D) The Soviet Union announces it will not compete in the Los Angeles Olympics, a decision widely seen as a direct response to the US boycotting the previous Olympic Games held in Moscow.
Hint: Connery had a 2nd stint as Bond after initially leaving the role |
