“We must be over the rainbow.” Well, that was quite a leap to make. #TheWizardOfOz
Man, as a kid I hated the moment where Dorothy gets knocked unconscious. Very scary. #TheWizardOfOz

Absolutely wild prelim #s for the #MacysParade:
- 34.3 mil viewers on NBC/Peacock, which is "its biggest combined audience on record, outperforming last year’s parade by +8% (2.5 million viewers). The 18-49 demo was up 13% from 2024."
- The 8:30 AM airing drew 25.4 mil viewers.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Tried a "no politics" rule at Thanksgiving table, but when someone mentioned their recent MRI, I had to ask, "Oh, do you happen to know why you had it done"

I let the “go home and watch a Miami Vice marathon” slide, because maybe that character was an early adopter. #StrangerThings
A kid in 1987 wouldn’t have made that Mission Impossible (TV series) reference, at least not in a “cool espionage caper” sense. #StrangerThings

I thought #StrangerThings was writing around a product they couldn’t get the rights to. I honestly don’t remember these ever being a thing.

That's right, coked-up rooster -- "Black Friday at Mega-Mart!" debuted 15 years ago on #SNL. For LateNighter, I spoke with Bobby Moynihan about shooting the hilarious ad parody.

I am a bit 😒 about the #StrangerThings Netflix “outage.” Coming on the heels of the Pluribus/Apple TV outage.

I feel like we’re starting to get into “21-minute standing ovation at Cannes” territory.

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.
