Love when he gets the giggles!

Thank you for this. Special thanks for the apt Björk reference. I also love how Stephen repeatedly breaks throughout the segment 😂 Kind regards from Iceland.

[@LindaC616]

Góðan daginn!

I hope Stephen gets the giggles more often and leaves in more bloopers for the audience. We love to see Stephen having fun. We need more fun in our lives. Thank you Stephen. Be yourself and be silly! It's working for Seth Meyers. 😂❤

[@chrisrobinson679]

That was a damn funny segment. It takes a pro to attempt so much word play every show... then fumble a lame joke, laugh at his own mistake, and say screw it just keep going.

[@figurativelyliterally9796]

I love how much fun he's having

[@lw3269]

I laughed way more at " Huh, I Guess Koalas Aren't Supposed To Go In The Freezer" than I should have. It's dark, but also hilarious.

Wait till he talks about Kristi not NORMal from South Dakota, killing her puppy and her goat at her gravel pit😱🤣. I suggest FBI needs to dig for human bones 🤔

[@thomasj.treder7971]

I laughed, too. And sure, it's dark, but that's only because the light goes out when the door is shut.

I love you, Stephen!!!!! and the band too, really fun people all around.

[@MichelleIbarraMHAEdD]

In the 70s, we went grunion hunting at mudnight. You can't use flashlights nets or anything, you have to catch with your hands. Then, we'd have a huge fish fry. It was so fun. 😂

I was there for the taping. He had to redo the part about the alter magnets once and I still didn't understand what they're about. 😂

[@malavoy1]

@@noxAlynor They are potentially a new kind of computer memory that utilizes the electrons spin instead of it's electric charge to store the 1's and 0's that make up computer software. Ferromagnets, they type that you can stick on your fridge, have properties that are good for this but when you scale them up to a lot of memory, there is noise that limits their performance due to the net magnetic field they have. Altermagnets have no net field but have the same properties for use in computer memory, but without the noise.

The teenage excuse for staying out late on the beach in San Diego, similar to the invitation to watch the underwater submarine races. The more practical folks brought buckets to scoop up the fish, clean , throw on the BBQ... knowing a bit of science is ALWAYS rewarding.!

[@colleenfraserdoggiekisses]

That was me, plus it was always fun to watch the tourists try to comprehend this miracle of nature.

The Grunion Run on the west coast has been well known for decades. I remember seeing stories on it as a boy in the '60s in the Midwest...

I think bumblebees are designed to go underwater because their burrows might get flooded.

[@michelebee991]

Great thinking 😊

[@victoriabaker4400]

That makes total sense, thank you. But, it troubles me that scientists are killing bumblebees. We need all we can get! And how would they themselves like to be drowned? After a week of suffering?

For real. It sounds like animal torture to me, and native bumblebees are so valuable to our planet that it's genuinely upsetting to me as an organic gardener and someone who likes to eat a number of food items that can ONLY be grown with the help of bees.
