Fully Loaded
On Wednesday’s “Tonight Show,” Jimmy Fallon celebrated Thanksgiving Eve, or as some call it, “Drinksgiving.”
“Right now, you’re either at your hometown bar doing shots of Jager, or you’re at your childhood home doing shots of Ozempic,” Fallon said.
“That’s right, tonight is known as “Drinksgiving,” ’cause a lot of people hit up their hometown bars, which is why tomorrow you give thanks to your friend who stopped you from making out with your high school gym teacher.” — JIMMY FALLON
“’Twas the night before Thanksgiving, and in your parents’ house, they put the Peloton in your old bedroom, so you’re sleeping on the couch. Mom’s making stuffing, and potatoes fully loaded. Dad tried to deep-fry the turkey, and the backyard exploded. After three nights with your family, you finally head for the door. But your flight just got canceled, so settle in for three more.” — JIMMY FALLON, in a riff on “The Night Before Christmas”
The Punchiest Punchlines (Turkey Time Edition)
“Tomorrow is, of course, Thanksgiving, which Abraham Lincoln established as a national holiday on Oct. 3, 1863. And he established the day after Thanksgiving is the day we should trample each other to get big-screen TVs at Walmart.” — TOM SHILLUE, guest host of “Gutfeld”
“While speaking yesterday at the annual White House turkey pardoning, President Trump said that he had never seen a turkey that big before. Said an aide, ‘Sir, that’s Mitch McConnell.’” — SETH MEYERS
“Meanwhile this year, a record 82 million Americans are planning to travel for Thanksgiving. Yeah, the busiest airports will be Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Denver. Meanwhile, Newark is turning the lights off and pretending they’re not home.” — JIMMY FALLON
“Pope Leo is set to travel to Turkey on Thanksgiving. And, you know what, I think we’re just going to let your dad have that joke.” — SETH MEYERS
