It was a great week in late night TV. Jimmy Kimmel took his traveling circus back to Austin for South by Southwest and tons of great people came to visit. Seth Meyers really stepped up with some delightful interviews. Jimmy Fallon continued to be Hollywood's favorite friendly neighbor, serving up some Catchphrase with his buddy Wiz Khalifa and improv comedy with Will Ferrell. And the real fake news squad really threw down the gauntlet, as Jon Stewart went into full attack mode on sexual discrimination and John Oliver devoted 20 minutes to ripping apart the NCAA for being a huge joke—and just in time for March Madness! The after-dark set really put in the time this week, so let's honor them reliving the laughs with this week's best of TV.
This gives McConaughey's Lincoln adds a run for their money in the crazy department, but the one with the Longhorn is still maximum clowntown, even in the face of these promos for Vulcan Video.
Ted Cruz says it's time to listen to the science, guys.
This got so stressful we had to pause the video after the first round. Catchphrase is the worst spectator sport!
Man oh man. Justin Bieber really stepped in it by pleading with Comedy Central to roast him. Slate compiled a list of some of the hardest hitting insults from the event, and even Martha Stewart took shots at the newly 21-year-old. This could be a huge night for the network. When was the last time Comedy Central had a roast generating this much buzz? But if you're sweating the Biebs, hopefully it's worth every last shred of pride he has. If you want to hear Hart talk about working out with the Texas Longhorns football team until he threw up, you can watch that video here. We tried to fight it, but we're definitely Kevin Hart converts.
Oklahomaphobia! Hahahahaha—it's totally funny because it's awful and sad! For the conclusion of this segment, and to see WIRED house favorite Jessica Williams explain what a "Magic Cone" is, follow this link and check it out.
John Oliver always brings it, but March Sadness 2015 is genius even for him.
Who would have guessed that when Keri Russell stole our hearts back in 1998 with Felicity she would eventually resurge into cultural significance with straight hair! Russell seems totally legit. She's incredible on The Americans, and looks like she's having the best time. And there's something perfectly dorky about wearing the t-shirt of the show you're on and being super proud about it. If you want to hear about what Russell names each of her wigs on The Americans, watch the rest of her very charming interview here.
President Barack Obama doesn't need to sit in a taller chair to be so much cooler than anyone he's with. But Sasha and Malia probably still think he's the worst, because that's their adolescent right. Maybe Jon Stewart will wait long enough to retire for B-Rock to slide into his hosting chair. President Obama also spoke on the implications of what transpired in Ferguson, both last year and just a few days ago, and you can listen to those remarks here.
Aw, it's Spock on Spock! (Yes, we know there is only one true Spock, but it's still a lovely bit of tribute.)
If Will Ferrell had the entire hour on The Tonight Show you know these two would have stretched this bit out for the duration of the show. Get Hard is so far receiving pretty bad reviews, but at least we're getting this surreal performance art ahead of time.
Seth should drunk host way more often.
