- Whitney Houston did exactly what a musician should do: entertain people and die in the tub without overstaying her welcome.
- Jimmy Fallon's doing the Tonight Show from his house while Whoopi Goldberg skypes in interviews.
- Tim questions whether we'll still be watching Jimmy Fallon if we're living under martial law.

- Tim imagines tanks rolling down the street while Ellen dances in her living room on Instagram.
- There should be martial law on Instagram requiring military approval before anyone can post.
