Yesterday at the TCAs, Stephen Colbert talked about changing up the traditional standing, one-liner-heavy monologue. “We’re gonna try to put them together in a new way,” he told the crowd. He later said they might try it in different formats and different places, saying, “We’re going to find what’s right for me.” A few hours later, Seth Meyers beat him to the punch, premiering a new seated “Weekend Update”–like monologue, which he’s going to try out for the next two weeks.

But that’s not movie logic, so we get the reaction that Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke have in the new trailer for Leave the World Behind, which basically amounts to: “What are you doing in my (rented) swamp?” The upcoming Netflix film follows a family, led by Roberts and Hawke, whose world is upended when a man and his daughter (Ali and Myha’la) show up and tell them that the world is ending, which is followed by news of a cyberattack that does, in fact, end the world as they know it.

Honestly, if the only part of Lena Dunham running for president were her non-sentient disembodied vagina, we could do a lot worse. And probably will! The Girls star and her showrunner Jenni Konner stopped by Late Night last night to address a number of salient topics, specifically whether or not Hannah’s vagina shot in Season Five’s “Hello Kitty” episode constitutes porn and thus would preclude her from one day becoming an elected official.

Hollywood commuters: If a group of people in wigs led by two strange men danced in front of you at an intersection recently, now you know why. After performing Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins, and Grease on a crosswalk, James Corden gets political with Hair, and recruits Lin-Manuel Miranda to help out and wear a whole lot of wigs.
