This is going to make you either remember fond memories of these times or make you feel real old.
29 years ago - In 1992, presidential candidate Billy Clinton played saxophone on "The Arsenio Hall Show". He blew "Heartbreak Hotel" and "God Bless the Child", which had a surprisingly strong positive effect on his run.
20 years ago - In 2001, Tina Fey married "Second City TV" director Jeff Richmond. He "opened her flower", ya know. She was a 24-year-old virgin.
15 years ago - In 2006, Ben Affleck's little brother (Casey) married Joaquin Phoenix's little sister (Summer). She filed for divorce in 2017. They have two sons together. Casey and Summer, that is. Not Ben and Joaquin.
