December 22, 1975 –

Archie Bunker’s “little girl” Gloria gave birth to a son, Joseph Michael Stivic, on CBS’s All in the Family, on this date
The birth occurred in the second part of a two-part episode, The Baby, which begins with Edith and Archie (Jean Stapleton and Carroll O’Connor) beating Mike and Gloria (Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers) to the hospital — with Archie, who had been scheduled to appear in a skit at his lodge, arriving in black face.
