A History of the Fidget Spinner

Nothing says Christmas like a good old-fashioned brawl in the isles of some big-box store over the latest toy.

The latest in must-have useless plastic is the fidget spinner. But where did it come from? What is its history? The Nerdwriter digs deep into the mysterious origins of the newest toy fad.

The Daily Show Reunion

Family. It's the center of life — the kicking, screaming, depressing and utterly dysfunctional center of life. One of the strongest families on the small screen was host John Stewart and his Daily Show correspondents, going out into the world and producing the hard-hitting stories we came to love. Those days are over, and those correspondents have gone on to successful careers of their own. Stephen Colbert brought the Daily Show cast back together on The Late Show for reminiscing and catching up with what everyone's been up to.

Jack Archer Jetsetter Tech Pants

Long gone are the days of stiff, wrinkled chinos. Modern pants are cut from a different (better) cloth, and Jack Archer's Jetsetter Tech Pants are a prime example. Crafted from premium Rebound fabric sourced from Japan, they're stretchy, wrinkle-free, anti-odor, and stain-resistant, making them great for travel. The fit provides room where it's needed but is slim where it's not, and is enhanced by a diamond-shaped gusset that prevents tightness in the crotch and the curved-waist design that provides a lift to the backside. Built with premium stitching, they also feature a zippered coin pocket and hidden reflective tape that's only revealed when they're cuffed. Now available in two cuts: the original, best-selling Slim Fit and the new Straight Fit, which offer a roomier fit from the knee down.
