Bozo the Clown's Birthday (1959)
-- On January 5, 1959, KTLA-TV in Los Angeles California broadcast the first episode of Bozo the Clown. The popular red-haired clown was featured on Capitol Records, animated cartoons and syndicated versions of BOZO THE CLOWN (BOZO'S BIG TOP). Bozo is a circus clown with large floppy collar, red nose and red hair shooting from the sides of his head like a pair of red horns.

Read: The Man Behind the Nose: Assassins, Astronauts, Cannibals, and Other Stupendous Yarns
-- The Man Behind the Nose is the autobiography of the man who was Bozo. For 50 years, Larry Harmon was the face — and the nose — of Bozo the Clown, the most well-known, beloved clown of them all, the precursor for every successful modern-day harlequin to come, from Ronald McDonald to Krusty. A warm, surprising, and endlessly entertaining life story filled to the brim with Assassins, Astronauts, Cannibals, and Other Stupendous Tales, The Man Behind the Nose is a rollicking ride through the world of a true American icon in greasepaint.

National Bird Day
- National Bird Day was established by bird activists. It calls upon people to recognize the plight of captive birds. It also draws attention to the exploitation of birds in the U.S. pet industry. On this day, organizers suggest we reflect upon the conditions of birds held in captivity. Take the time to appreciate the native wild birds flying free outside our windows and make an effort to learn about birds both in the wild and our feathered friends we keep as pets.

American Divorce Day (1643)
- In 1643, Anne Clark was granted the first legal divorce in North America.

First Woman Governor Inaugurated (1925)
- In 1925, Nellie Tayloe (Mrs. William B.) Ross became the first woman to serve as governor upon her inauguration in Wyoming. She had previously finished out the term of her husband, who had died in office. In 1974 Ella Grasso of Connecticut became the first woman to be elected governor in her own right.

National Whipped Cream Day (1914)
- January 5th is Aaron Lapin's birthday and he was born in 1914 in St. Louis. Known as Bunny (as lapin means rabbit in French), he was originally a clothes salesman but got into the food industry in the 1940s. He started selling Sta-Whip, a wartime substitute for whipping cream, and eventually put whipped cream into a new type of aerosol canister and called his product, Reddi-Wip. Reddi-Wip was first sold through local milkmen, but it went national in 1954 and is still available today.

FM Radio Birthday (1937)
- W1XOJ was the first FM radio station, granted a construction permit by the FCC in 1937. On January 5, 1940, FM radio was demonstrated to the FCC for the first time. FM radio was assigned the 42 to 50 MHz band of the spectrum in 1940.

Chrysler Birthday (1924)
- The first Chrysler cars were introduced on January 5, 1924, at the New York Automobile Show — one year before Chrysler Corporation itself was created. These cars, launched by Maxwell Motors, had a revolutionary new six-cylinder, high-compression engine, a seven-bearing crankshaft, carburetor air cleaner, replaceable oil filter — and four-wheel hydraulic brakes.

Mr. Ed's Birthday (1961)
- Mister Ed is an American television situation comedy produced by Filmways, first aired in syndication from January 5 to July 2, 1961, and then on CBS from October 1, 1961, to February 6, 1966.

Monopoly Board Game (1904)
- The history of Monopoly can be traced back to 1903 when a Quaker woman named Elizabeth (Lizzie) J. Magie Phillips created a game through which she hoped to be able to explain the single tax theory of Henry George (it was intended to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies). She was granted a patent on her first game on January 5, 1904. Her game, The Landlord's Game, was commercially published in 1924. Other interested game players redeveloped the game, some changing its name to Auction Monopoly and later to plain Monopoly, and many making their own sets customized for their own cities.
