Lots of stuff still happens. But a rundown of some minor changes just for fun:
Comedy Central debuts a new TV show in the spring of '01 called Where's My Willy? - a parody of the Clinton administration starring Darrell Hammond of SNL fame. It is cancelled after two seasons when President Clinton dies.
Men in Black II, and slew of other movies, continue to show the standing World Trade Center.
Sofia Vergara hits it big with two successful movies in 2001 - starring along side Arnold Schwarzenegger in the blockbuster Collateral Damage and Tim Allen in the quirky hit Big Trouble. The latter of which also becomes a short-lived sitcom series on FOX.
Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect chugs along, as the outspoken libertarian uses the show to rip apart the war policies of Clinton-Landrieu. Maher's increasingly toxic tone toward Democrats, namely the President, lead to a larger embrace among libertarian viewers - and proves an added benefit to the Ron Paul campaign in the future.
The Lone Gunmen prove to be a hit for FOX after the network renews the series for a second season - and it continues long after the X-Files is cancelled.
