10 Things That Happened 10 Years Ago This Week

It’s time for another nostalgic look back at the good, the bad, and the just plain weird. Remember where you were when this stuff happened? Here’s what was in the news 10 years ago this week.

1. Caitlyn Jenner introduced herself to the world. She’d come out as trans in an interview with “20/20” that April, but we didn’t really meet her until the “Vanity Fair” spread landed on June 1st, 2015.

2. Kim Kardashian announced she was pregnant again. She revealed the news in a teaser at the end of the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” mid-season finale. She gave birth to her son Saint that December – her second of four kids with now former husband (and former sane person) Kanye West.

3. Thongs were going out of style. “The New York Times” did a story on how thong sales were slipping and young women were opting for the much more comfortable granny panty option.

4. YouTube’s 10th birthday video was trending. It marked the 10th anniversary of YouTube’s beta version, which launched in May 2005.

5. The Duggars were in full meltdown mode. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar from TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” did their first interview after news broke that their oldest son Josh “improperly touched” five victims, including four of his younger sisters. The show was cancelled that July.

6. Tracy Morgan did his first interview following his horrible car crash. He’d nearly died almost exactly one year earlier when a Walmart truck plowed into the back of his Mercedes Sprinter van. Tragically, his longtime collaborator James McNair didn’t survive the crash.

7. IHOP updated their logo to make it happier. They decided their old one looked like a frown, so they turned it upside down.

8. A guy’s long-neck mugshot went viral. He was accused of stealing $3,000 worth of antique coins from a store, but all anyone wanted to know was how much llama DNA he had.

9. The Broadway casts of “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” got stranded at an airport together. The airport sing-off that ensued was of epic proportions.

10. The trailer for “Sharknado 3” was released. It was one of six “Sharknado” movies that came out between 2013 and 2018 – all of them benchmarks in cinematic brilliance.
