Here’s the bottom line: Stephen Colbert defended the integrity of the fancy cross-shaped lightsaber from the new teaser for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and we wanted to high five a million Wookie angels we loved it so much. Some other stuff happened, too, that we hope you watch, but we’re going to keep it real. Everything else is just a footnote after watching “the original” Star Wars fanatic go full fanboy. For America.
The Colbert Report—Lightsaber Controversy
If Stephen Colbert must leave his post on the Report to takeover David Letterman’s job, at least one of his final acts was an analysis of lightsabers on national television. We’ll always have Hoth, Stephen.
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—Slow Jam the Immigration News with Brian Williams
Brian Williams gives a primer on President Obama’s recent executive order on immigration while Fallon makes jokes about the most powerful man in the world “sitting around with his Bic in his hand.”
The Colbert Report—Christopher Nolan
Oh, hey. If you find yourself holding a copy of WIRED’s December issue, guest edited by Interstellar director Christopher Nolan, why not bookmark this as some supplemental material?
The Flash—Arrow vs. the Flash
Superhero crossover alert!
Jimmy Kimmel Live!—J.K. Simmons Is Scary
J.K. Simmons kicks so much ass. He’s just great. Like, all the time. He’s great in bit parts like the dad in Juno. He’s great in long form narrative arcs, like when he played a neo-Nazi gang leader in the prison drama Oz. He can be funny and warm and charming and frightening and ominous and basically anything you need him to be, and so it’s nice to see him getting some big screen time in the critically acclaimed Whiplash, co-starring semi It Boy Miles Teller. We salute you, Mr. Simmons. Keep on being our Every Man.
