November 26, 1922 - British archaeologist, Howard Carter, along with his financier, Lord Carnarvon, first entered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. Commonly referred to as King Tut, Tutankhamun became pharaoh of Egypt in 1333 BC at the age of nine. His reign lasted only 10 years until his death, the cause of which remains unknown. Because of his young age and short reign Tut's significance as a ruler of Egypt was slight. However, due to the fact that his tomb was among the best preserved of all the Egyptian kings, and because his artifacts have been widely-exhibited since their discovery, Tut is the best known pharaoh today.

November 27, 1924 - The first Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was held in New York City. Originally known as the Macy's Christmas Parade, the parade featured employees of Macy's and professional entertainers who marched from 145^th Street in Harlem to the Macy's flagship store on 34^th Street. The parade featured floats, professional bands and live animals borrowed from the Central Park Zoo. An estimated 250,000 people watched the first parade, leading Macy's to make it an annual event. In 1927 the gigantic balloons, which would become a staple in Macy's parade, made their first appearance starting with Felix the Cat. In the early years the balloons would be released into the air at the end of the parade route. Each balloon had address labels sewn onto them. Anyone who found a deflated balloon and returned it would receive a gift from Macy's. The parade solidified its place in American culture after being featured in the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street, which used actual footage of the 1946 parade. Today an estimated 3 million people line the streets of New York to watch the parade, while another 44 million watch on television.

November 30, 2004 -  Ken Jennings 74-game winning streak on Jeopardy! came to an end when he was defeated in the Final Jeopardy round by Nancy Zerg. Over the course of his streak Jennings won $2,520,700, the most winnings ever in television game shows. Prior to 2003 Jeopardy! contestants were limited to winning five consecutive games, but at the beginning of the 20^th season the rules were changed to allow contestants to remain on the show as long as they continued to win. Jennings's streak began that same season with the episode that aired on June 2, 2004 and continued into season 21. The question that finally brought down the Jeopardy! champion: "Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year." Jennings responded with, "What is FedEx?" The correct response: "What is H&R Block?"
