It’s the perfect emo fairy tale: Striking a flock of birds moments after taking off from New York City’s LaGuardia Airport, Captain Sully Sullenberger found himself tasked with bringing the Airbus A320-214 he was piloting, its five crew members and all 150 passengers on board safely back down to Earth. In meeting this momentous challenge, the seasoned aviator went where few of his peers had before, grabbing his iPod, blasting the chorus of Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” and checking in with his co-pilot before landing his vessel on the Hudson River.
If this scenario — the thesis driving the latest installment of Nathan Fielder’s surrealist comedy, The Rehearsal — sounds too good to be true, it’s because it probably is. The “Miracle on the Hudson” was likely lacking the musical stylings of Amy Lee — at least according to a recent deep dive into the episode, citing several contradictory facts, including that Sully’s iPod was stowed in his bag during the landing.
Meanwhile, on Monday, John Oliver pulled back the curtain on what really goes on at Saturday Night Live, describing the long-running sketch show as “a cult” while dropping by Late Night With Seth Meyers. “That’s ridiculous,” the Last Week Tonight host said of the show’s taxing schedule, which features a weekly, mandatory all-nighter. “That’s the kind of thing a cult leader would make you do: ‘We stay up all night on Tuesdays.’”
Instead of writing sketches until the wee hours of Wednesday morning, you can spend your Tuesday night laughing at these hilarious tweets, the best of which include those about Guy Fieri’s solo dining demands, the joys of being left in a hot car and Monica Barbaro’s monorail-shilling skills.
