September 29.
Let’s take a look at what happened on this day in history:
Back in 1916, John D. Rockefeller became the world’s first billionaire.
In 1966, Chevy rolled out the Camaro — though it was almost called the Panther.
1982 gave us the TV debut of Cheers on NBC.
In 2005, John Roberts was sworn in as the 17th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Fast forward to 2018 — Kanye West made it official: he was going by just “Ye.”
In 2023, the Las Vegas Sphere lit up for the first time with a U2 concert.
And in 1991, MTV played Smells Like Teen Spirit for the very first time — introducing much of America to Nirvana.
