January 22, 1960: Twilight Zone's "The Hitch-Hiker" airs. A woman on a cross-country car trip keeps seeing the same man trying to hitch a ride. "Going my way?" See where Serling got this TZ classic from: https://thenightgallery.wordpress.com/2017/04/30/the-hitch-hiker-the-origin-of-a-twilight-zone-classic/

He said 'Thanks for stopping, how do you know I'm not a serial killer?'
I said 'Now what would be the odds of two serial killers being in the one car?'
