-Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Have fun. Welcome to "The Tonight Show."
Thank you for tuning in.
-[ Cheers and applause ] -Thank you for being here.
Today is the day everybody.
The "Friends" reunion is now available on HBO Max.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And just like every reunion,
people were mainly excited to see who gained the most weight.
And it's Marcel, actually. -Is it really?
-You wouldn't even recognize him.
The thing is so huge, though, HBO Max is already planning
a "Friends Reunion: The Reunion."
-Yeah. -Really?
Each cast member was paid $2.5 million for the special.
[ Audience ohh's ]
Meanwhile, when he heard, Gunther was like,
"You guys got paid?
They told me this was just for fun."
$2.5 million is a lot.
I mean, for that kind of money,
you can almost subscribe to HBO Max and Netflix.
[ Laughter ]
That's right. The "Friends" reunion is a big success,
and it looks like HBO Max
has even more plans for the franchise.
Check this out.
-From the people who brought you "Friends,"
coming soon to HBO Max, it's "Young Gunther."
The story of a little bald boy who dreams of someday
making cappuccinos for hot 30-somethings.
-I don't know if that's gonna work.
[ Applause ]
Some more entertainment news.
Amazon just reached a deal to buy MGM studios for $8 billion.
Yeah, at this point, the only thing Jeff Bezos
doesn't own is hair.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah. Amazon owns the "James Bond" franchise.
The creators of "James Bond"
said there won't be any obvious changes
except there's one scene where Bond orders
two martinis and then drunk-shops on Amazon.
-[ Laughter ] -But check this out.
I saw that CVS is now offering prizes for people
who get vaccinated in their pharmacies.
Some of the prizes are pretty great,
especially the grand prize --
the key to the locked case
where they keep all the razors and deodorant.
[ Laughter ]
[ Applause ]
Meanwhile, last night, Ohio announced
the first two winners of its Vax-a-Million lottery.
Yep, any vaccinated adult was eligible to win $1 million.
That's pretty crazy, but Ohio isn't the only state
offering incentives to vaccinated residents.
Check out what you could win in other states.
First up, if you get vaccinated in Vermont,
they'll let you spoon with either Ben or Jerry
for as long as you want.
Big spoon, little spoon. Your choice.
Up next, if you're vaccinated in South Dakota,
you're eligible to become the fifth head on Mt. Rushmore.
-"Room for one more!"
-Ah. Next up, if you get vaccinated in Florida,
you can get blackout drunk and drive an ATV
through Walmart without any consequences.
[ Applause ]
Actually, you can do that, no matter what.
It's a right in Florida.
And, finally, if you get vaccinated in Georgia,
they'll let you take a picture with Jimmy Carter
so that you can look like a giant.
[ Laughter ]
Well, this is very interesting.
A new feature just became available on Instagram
and Facebook that allows users to hide likes.
No more likes?
In response, everyone canceled their brunch
and gave away their babies.
[ Laughter ]
"I'm not in it for that. I'm not in it for that."
Listen to this. I heard that Walmart is going --
working with Gap to launch
a new home-goods brand called Gap Home.
That's right. Walmart home décor.
It's the only place you can get an Ottoman
with a lower-back tattoo.
[ Laughter ]
I saw that a McDonald's in Illinois came up with
a creative way to recruit new employees.
Look at this -- the sign they put out there.
It says, "Now hiring. Free iPhone
after six months' employment and meet criteria."
Owner's gonna be thrilled with his new employees
until the first day of month seven.
[ Laughter ]
Some giant culinary news here.
I saw that DiGiorno is coming out with a new
limited-edition doughnut pizza mash-up
called the DiGiornut.
Here it is.
[ Audience groans ]
"It's not delivery. It's disgusting."
It's perfect if you thought you hit rock bottom with Bagel Bites
but still wanted to dig a little deeper.
And, finally, a skydiver in California
missed his landing zone and wound up getting caught
in some power lines. Take a look at this.
[ Audience ooh's ]
The good news is his Apple Watch
is charged for the next seven years.
