-Welcome, everybody. Welcome to "The Tonight Show."
Thank you for being here. Thank you for watching.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Well, guys, it seems like
there's so much going on right now.
Supreme Court justice Stephen Breyer is stepping down.
Everyone's talking about "Encanto."
A winter hurricane might be headed for the East Coast.
And Pizza Hut just released its spiciest pizza ever.
Let's just jump in and cover it all at once.
It's time for a "News Smash."
[ Cheers and applause ]

First up, Justice Breyer.
He's retiring after nearly 30 years on the Supreme Court.
Democrats are already talking about who should replace him.
But you know who they're not talking about?
Bruno.
"Encanto" is huge right now.
It's got an amazing soundtrack by Lin-Manuel Miranda,
and two of the songs are currently
in the Billboard Top 10.
The music is rocking everyone like a...
hurricane.
That's right. A bomb cyclone with the power of a hurricane
is headed for the Northeast.
And if you want to experience
your own personal bomb cyclone, why not try...
Pizza Hut's new Spicy Lover's Pizza?
It's their spiciest pizza ever.
With red jalapeños and chili peppers.
It will mess you up so bad, you'll have to...
retire.
Whoever fills Breyer's seat will be stuck in that role
for years to come.
Speaking of things getting stuck for years,
the "Encanto" soundtrack.
We're gonna be singing these songs for a long time.
It's basically the new...
"Frozen."
To prepare, people are stocking up on water and toilet paper,
but not because of the storm, because they just tried...
Pizza Hut's new Spicy Lover's Pizza.
In conclusion, time to go...
let it snow...
get that dough...
♪ We don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no ♪
This has been a "News Smash."

Thank you.
Well, as I mentioned, this weekend,
a giant winter storm is heading for the East Coast.
But I saw this one tweet from NBC News
that wasn't super-helpful.
It said New York City could see
between 2 inches and 20 inches of snow this weekend.
-[ Laughter ] -Oh, thanks a lot.
-Yeah, now I know.
-Pretty big range right there. I don't know --
Who's making these predictions? The CDC?
[ Laughter ]
"Six feet, three feet, ten days, five days.
We don't know. We don't know."
Yeah, so you'll either be going to work
or you'll be buried inside your house,
so get ready.
Some business news.
Bud Light just announced they're releasing Bud Light Next,
a zero-carb beer that they spent nearly ten years trying to make.
Ten years.
Wow. Somehow it took a few months for the Pfizer vaccine,
but ten years for Bud Light Next.
Here's some good news.
Delta Airlines will soon bring back
hot meal service on its flights.
Meanwhile, Spirit is like, "That's why we put the engine
in the cabin, so people can heat up whatever they want."
Hey, guys, I read that Elon Musk took his kids to Walmart
so they could see the pandemic
toilet-paper shortage firsthand.
[ Laughter ]
His kids were like, "This is crazy, Dad!
Why don't they just use $100 bills like we do?"
"That's right. Let's go home now."
Finally, I heard, because of staff shortages,
the governor of New Mexico had to fill in
as a substitute teacher at an elementary school.
Yeah, it's pretty effective when the teacher says,
"Behave, or I'm raising your parents' property taxes."
We have a great show.
