Host. I remember when i was an adolescent, his parody on snl and how funny it was, and how gracious he was with the impressions of him, and, you know, hes one of those people like dick clark where its just, like, theres a person who consumes American Culture whos beloved by all sides and a natural entertainer. Yeah. I think i dont mean to sound hokey, but they dont make people like this on television anymore. Just this beloved icon that everybody wants to watch and is endlessly entertaining. He clocked 17,000 hours on Live Television as you said, holds the guinness book of world records. Im very, very sad. When i read it and i got the news, i just, like, stopped. Another one of these people that again, america loves and its just a very its very, very sad news and i didnt realize he was even ill. So just my condolences to his family as well, but he will be beloved and remembered forever. Yeah. This is, you know, this is the way i believe he wanted to be remembered, as a really good man,
But think about to when johnson pivska visited the class and we talked about the Jackson Magnolia. Who remembers the story . Andrew jacksons wife died right before he went to office so he planted this tree because it was her favorite tree. And he brought the seeds from the hermitage in tennessee and do you remember what jonathan told us . He said there isnt any contemporary evidence, Andrew Jackson never mentions planting a tree, theres nothing in newspapers so it seems like this is a story that has these romantic origins and its continued to grow from that ever since. So this is actually first known exterior photograph of the white house taken by a welsh born photographer named john plume jr. In january 1846. So if youre looking at the white house, this is 1846, so in theory jackson planted his tree already, right . But i dont see a magnolia anywhere. So this also bolsters the case that perhaps the magnolia came a little bit later than people think. Heres an outdoor shot by lewis walt
Test. Test test. Test test test. Test test test test. Test test test test test. So here is another good example. And again what do you see . We see the prim, right . The morning paper. We see executive mansion in black. It says my dear sir, i was directed by the president for your desire to change headlines and papers for all of the papers requiring his decision. Preparing nominations for senate or the houses of congress to aview the change. Sincerely yours, and it is dated october 17th, 1901. So the president s secretary saying for future reference any documents you send to the president for him to sign, the heading should be white house. So october 17th, 1901 thats when that directive is sent. But there is no real executive order, there is no law, so when they say that roosevelt officially changed the name from executive mansion to white house, it is true, but it is kind of hard to pin down exactly when it happened. We know it is october 1901, but is it when they send the letters out
Alex, was it you who wrote about the Jackson Magnolia. It was. So you already know about this. For everybody else, think back when Jonathan Pliska visited our class and we talked about the story behind the Jackson Magnolia. Who remembers the story, not alex. Anybody else . Yeah, william. Andrew jacksons wife died right before he went to office so he planted the tree because it was her favorite tree. Uhhuh. And he brought the seeds from the herm taj in tennessee and do you remember what jonathan told us . False. Well, he said that there really isnt any type of contemporary evidence. Andrew jackson never mentions planting a tree. Theres nothing in newspapers. So it seems like this is a story that has, of course, these romantic origins and its continued to grow from that ever since. So this is actually the first known exterior photograph of the white house. It was taken by a welshborn photographer named john plume jr. And about january, 1846. So, if youre looking at the white house, this
