Who: Jarvis and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Tourist or The Melting Pot, but only if you need 'em there!
When: April 19th
[Ehem. Jarvis has his glasses on, and is carefully scanning a snippet from an old booklet he'd found with regards to human life on Earth - in the future, that is, and regarding special days of the year. And lo and behold, April 19th happened to be a listed day in a variety of 'strange celebratory days'. So...! He reads the passage, adjusting his spectacles.]
... "While no one really knows the origin of the high-five, it’s believed to go back to the 1970s and likely a variation of the 'Low-Five' – which had been around since, at the very least, WWII. However...! There are two popular stories which try to explain the origin of the High-Five."
"The first story states that the first high-five occurred at Dodger Stadium on October 2, 1977, between Glenn Burke and Dusty Baker on the last day of the regular season. This high-five was in response to a home run hit by Baker off of Houston Astros pitcher J.R. Richard."
"The second story places the origin of the high-five at a University of Louisville Cardinals basketball practice in 1978. Wiley Brown was going to give his teammate Derek Smith a low-five, but the two decided to give each other a high-five instead. After that, the team began giving each other high-fives after each celebration..." Huh!
I suppose... be sure to pass along a 'high-five' to whoever is in need of one.
I hear they're quite the pick-me-up in recent years.
Though I must wonder... If there's such a day as 'National High-Five Day', what in the blazes is hidden within the other 364 days of the year back home? Or even out in and about the far reaches of space. Surely some things are a bit ridiculous to dedicate an entire 24 hours towards... No Pants Day? How absolutely lewd and unnecessary. Please, keep your pants on in public, lest you be insulted for your choice in undergarments and promptly slapped.
[He flips through the list.]
Toothache Day? A nightmare!
... And I have no clue why squirrels would need their own special day, for that matter.
They're standoffish, and their ability to recollect the location of their own hiding spots is downright pitiful.
[Is he trying to enthuse people and get their spirits raised after a really ugly planet trip? You betcha.]

[UUUUGH.]
... Punching knuckles together sounds terrible. That's what it is, isn't it? How brutish. I've tender hands for work, you know, I can't afford to bruise any bones.
