Conan O'Brien is back in 30 Rock again, this time appearing on Late Night — the very show he hosted himself for 16 years.
But unlike his comically explosive appearance on The Tonight Show in 2024, his interview with Seth Meyers feels like more of a light-hearted – and occasionally chaotic – trip down memory lane, with O'Brien recounting his own experiences on the show (which he at one pointed wanted to rename Nighty Night) and all of the more bizarre sketches that came with it.
More of O'Brien appearing on talk shows, please.

The Nintendo Switch 2 launch day has come and gone, and those lucky enough to get a console are already happily playing Mario Kart World and other launch titles.
Starting on June 5, gamers could finally purchase the Switch 2 console for $449.99 and the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle for $499.99 — if you could find it in stock. Costco had inventory available on June 5, and Target started selling its inventory online on June 6, but as of this writing, it's unavailable at all retailers. GameStop and Staples at least have tools that let you check available stock at nearby stores.

To avoid hoarding and reselling, Nintendo and retailers are limiting orders per person. That means you'll need to make an account to successfully place an order. We also recommend reviewing our tips for tracking restocks, and in the meantime, try all the links below.
Place an order with NintendoYou can't simply go to the My Nintendo Store and buy the Switch 2. To order the Switch 2, you need to log in with an active, paid Nintendo Switch Online account. Once you do that, you can choose either a Switch 2 standalone console or the Mario Kart World bundle and then hit the confirm button to "register your interest" in ordering a Switch 2.
Now for the weird stuff. Only Switch Online members who have paid for at least 12 months of service and registered at least 50 hours of gameplay on their Switch consoles can purchase through Nintendo. In other words, you better be a true Switch gamer if you want to buy the Switch 2 this way. If you're eligible and follow these steps, watch your email for an invitation link.
Buy the Switch 2 at Nintendo: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Learn More Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499 Learn More How to order Switch 2 at WalmartUnlike Nintendo, purchasing the Switch 2 online at Walmart is pretty simple. Technically, Walmart shoppers have been able to preorder Switch 2 consoles on Walmart's website since midnight ET on April 24. In reality, the console has been sold out consistently. Our advice? Go to the Walmart Switch 2 listing a few times a day and smash that refresh button.
We'll update this article as soon as we find Switch 2 consoles in stock at Walmart (or anywhere). Walmart also sells a lot of Switch 2 launch titles and accessories.
Buy the Switch 2 at Walmart: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 at TargetTarget stores opened as usual on launch day, and according to a press release, Switch 2 hopefuls were directed to a "designated queuing location" near the entrance. Target workers reportedly gave out reservation tickets to a lucky few. Buyers were whisked off to the electronics department, where they could finally purchase either the Switch 2 or a Switch 2 bundle.
Buy the Switch 2 at Target: Nintendo Switch 2 console $449.99 Shop Now Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle $499.99 Shop Now How to buy Switch 2 at GameStopGameStop is the one retailer of the four listed here that's doing things a little bit differently. If you were lucky enough to get a GameStop preorder, you could pick up your console at midnight on June 5. GameStop stores also hosted midnight launch events (though supplies were limited), and gamers can go to GameStop locations to participate in a "Transfer and Trade," where they trade in their original Switch and transfer data to the new console.
You can also try your luck online or sign up to get updates when new inventory becomes available. You can also buy Switch 2 games and accessories at GameStop, including those all-important MicroSD Express cards.

If you weren't one of the chosen ones who got a console at these events, you'll have to rely on the Best Buy website. So far, we haven't seen any inventory available, unfortunately.
As a “high-demand item,” Best Buy customers have to follow specific steps to buy a Switch 2 online:
Create a My Best Buy account and sign in
Confirm your location
Add the item to your cart
Follow the on-screen prompts and check for available inventory
If you get a Switch 2 console in your cart, you’ll have 10 minutes to complete the purchase
You'll notice there's one major retailer conspicuously missing so far — Amazon. That's because Amazon is not an official Nintendo retailer, so any Switch 2 consoles you find there are likely listed by resellers of dubious legitimacy. However, Amazon shoppers can preorder some Switch 2 titles ahead of the launch.
Opens in a new window Credit: Nintendo Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion Limited Edition $99.99 at AmazonAs we noted in our Switch 2 preorder guide, select Staples stores will sell the Switch 2 on a first-come, first-served basis starting June 5. Most Staples locations open at 8 a.m., but we recommend showing up bright and early. Staples will also be selling an unnamed Switch 2 game bundle, and we know it's not the standard Mario Kart World bundle. As with other retailers, Switch 2 consoles are currently listed as "Out of stock" at the Staples online store.

Then you may be able to secure your Switch 2 at the mega-retailer, which has been one of the few retailers with actual inventory available on June 5. Costco members can purchase the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle online starting June 5, though there's a limit of one console per membership (every seven days). As of this writing, the console and Mario Kart bundle are both sold out.

Since opening for preorder on April 24, the Switch 2 has been sold out pretty much everywhere, like the PS5 before it. In fact, so many gamers tried to place preorders on April 24 that they immediately crashed the GameStop, Target, and Walmart websites. That's left many Switch fans wondering how to buy the Switch 2 online. So, if you aren't buying a Switch 2 in person, keep checking this page for the latest stock updates on Switch 2 launch day and beyond.

"I think it’s awesome," Perry wrote in his Switch 2 early review. "Most of the games I’ve played have been impressive in one way or another, and the hardware is a clear improvement over the first Switch. It’s not perfect, but nothing is."

The White Lotus Season 3 may be over, but Aimee Lou Wood is still sending daily voice notes to at least one of her cast mates.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor spoke about the seven months she spent filming Season 3 with the cast, and the tight relationships that were formed.
"It was a very long time, and I feel that's why there's a real feeling of separation anxiety whenever we have to leave each other," she says in the clip. "It's intense, and there's definitely a lot of co-dependence I think. I can't go a day without speaking to Leslie [Bibb]. We just constantly voice note."
Elsewhere she also describes when she first learned her character's fate, and the lengths creator Mike White went to keep everything secret.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has a "tentative" date for the Robotaxi service launch in Austin, Texas.
The date, according to a post on X, is "tentatively" June 22, though even Musk doesn't seem too certain about it.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed."We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift," he wrote, adding that the first Tesla self-delivery, in which the car "drives itself from factory end of line all the way to a customer house," should happen on June 28.
The company has been testing its Robotaxi service ahead of launch for roughly a month now. A previous report claimed the launch is scheduled for June 12. A recent short video, shared by Musk, shows a driverless Tesla Model Y on a public road in Austin, Texas.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.The uncertainty about the launch date is hardly a surprise given recent reports that the city of Austin isn't ready for Tesla's Robotaxi service yet.
It's important to make a distinction between the Robotaxi service, which will initially start with Tesla Model Y cars, and the Cybercab, a car made specifically for autonomous ferrying of passengers, which is scheduled to go into production "before 2027".
SEE ALSO: Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot program loses its headAs for the Robotaxi service that should start this June, it'll reportedly start as a very small affair, with just 10 to 20 vehicles, and in a very small testing area. When it finally kicks off, it'll join driverless taxis from Waymo and Zoox, both of which are already operating in Austin.

Samsung makes some of the most powerful Android phones on the market, and 2025’s Samsung Galaxy S25 is no exception. Normal, everyday use is no issue for the flagship series, as they are beefy enough to handle any mobile game or app on the Play Store. So, those who want to go a step further can easily do so, though you may want to tweak some settings.
Power users are a shrinking segment in mobile. Back in the day, rooting was a lot more common than it is today, for instance. One of the main reasons for that? You don’t have to root to do some of the more advanced functions on phones anymore. Phone makers — and Samsung in particular — have all sorts of little tools and tricks that let you do things that once required root-level modifications.
So, if you’re interested in going the extra mile with your S25 Ultra (or even your S25 or S25+), here are some fun power user-level tools you can download, features to try, and settings to modify your phone. These should all work on Samsung with One UI 7, and I also tested them with the One UI 8 beta as well.
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, 256GB, Unlocked $1,049.99 at AmazonThe first step for anyone looking to do more on their Samsung Galaxy phones: Download Good Lock and Good Guardian ASAP. Good Lock is a customization app that lets you do things like add a splash of color to your keyboard or design a lock screen (or always-on display) theme. As a bonus, it's a great way to make your iPhone-having friends jealous. Good Guardians is more for troubleshooting purposes, but can still be very helpful.
Both apps operate the same way. Once you install them, you can then load modules based on what you want to do. Each module acts like a standalone app. Once you have everything set up, Good Guardians and Good Lock act as launchers for those other functions.
There are some useful modules. For example, Nice Catch will tell you the reason for every sound and vibration your phone makes, while Thermal Guardian can track the temperatures of your phone to see what’s heating it up. Keys Cafe is genuinely fun and can add a reactive flash of color to your Samsung Keyboard. Another good one is Camera Assistant, as it can customize your camera settings.
Even if you don’t use them all the time, they’re worth keeping around on your device in case you ever want to test or try something. This is the easiest way to modify, troubleshoot, and theme your Samsung phone without root.
Power users should disable Auto Blocker If you're not a power user, keep this enabled. Credit: Joe Hindy/MashableThis function prevents things like sideloading apps from outside the Google Play Store and Samsung app store. It also prevents commands from USB and a few other things. If you are not a power user, leave it enabled as it won’t do anything to affect you. You can find Auto Blocker under the Privacy & Security settings in the Settings menu.
The two big reasons are that power users tend to install apps from third-party sources like F-Droid or GitHub, and commands from USB include the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), which is also a common tool for modders, power users, and tinkerers. With Auto Locker disabled, you’ll be able to do these things without issue.
Set a reboot schedule Keep your phone's performance up. Credit: Joe Hindy/MashableFreshly booted phones perform better than ones that have been on for weeks or even months. So, having your phone restart occasionally can help keep performance up. To do this, go to the Settings, then Device Care. Tap Auto optimization. You have two options: the phone can reboot when it feels like it needs a reboot or you can reboot on a schedule. The choice here is yours. I have tried both and haven’t had any issues with either one.
Enable developer optionsThis age-old Android trick is still relevant, even on Samsung phones. This unlocks an extra menu full of things you can tweak and edit. Unlocking developer options is the same on nearly every Android phone. In case you don’t know, here’s how to do it on the Galaxy S25.
Open the Settings menu.
Scroll to the bottom and tap on About phone.
Tap Software information.
Repeatedly tap the Build number section.
You’ll be asked to enter your PIN or swipe pattern. Do so.
You’ll be asked to confirm that you want to turn on Developer Options. Confirm.
Developer options will appear on the main Settings menu screen at the very bottom of the list. You can enable a host of features here. One of the most common is USB debugging, which allows you to use additional ADB commands on your device.
Another common one people like to do is increase transition and animation speed by 50%, which gives the phone the illusion of being snappier. You can do this by finding Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Reduce all of those from 1.0 to 0.5, and all the operating system’s animations and transitions will happen twice as quickly. This does give the illusion of snappiness, but you do lose some aesthetic value since the animations also make the phone look smoother.
Do not disable RAM Plus (no matter what Reddit says) Keep this on. Credit: Joe Hindy/MashableThis is something I stumbled upon on Reddit and other forums. Per Samsung, RAM Plus “provides intelligent memory expansion by using your storage as virtual memory.” Despite what you may read online, this is true. Turning RAM Plus on and off doesn’t really do anything in terms of battery life or performance. In most cases, the performance improvements people claim to see are due to rebooting the device, which can correct minor issues that cause battery drain and improve performance regardless of whether or not you use RAM Plus.
The benefit to RAM Plus is that it kicks apps out of memory a lot less often, allowing you to keep them open for longer. It does use a portion of your flash storage, but it’s on a partition that isn’t user accessible. Thus, it is a myth that using it will reduce your internal storage. If you don’t believe me, you can check the internal storage after turning it off and back on again. It won’t change.
It can be turned off if you really want to, but having it on doesn’t hurt anything, and you’re not getting any measurable benefits from turning it off. You will, however, get measurable benefits from rebooting your device, so make sure to do that regularly with the reboot schedule above.
Start using Routines Routines open up tons of possibilities. Credit: Joe Hindy/MashableThe final tip we have is to use routines. You can do all sorts of cool things with this, including fine-tuning how your device runs when it does certain things. To access Routines and start messing with them, you can find the Modes and Routines option in the Settings menu.
From here, you can do all sorts of things. As an example, I set my Galaxy S25 Ultra’s performance mode to Light as I find that I can squeak out some extra battery life with it. The phone automatically turns it back to Standard mode when I mobile game, so I don’t have to set that.
However, with a routine, I have it set to return to Standard mode when I use Android Auto. With that, I can let the phone ramp up its performance to stream music, use Maps, and run Android Auto, and since it's wired Android Auto, it’s recharging when I drive anyway. It does all of this automatically without me having to do anything. I have another that turns off fast charging at night since I’ll be unconscious and don’t need the phone to charge as quickly.
I’ve seen a ton of examples. Some folks like to leave 4G on all the time and have routines to enable 5G only when using certain apps like music or video streaming. Another example is setting your phone's charge limit to 80% to save long-term battery health while connected to home Wi-Fi, but setting it to 100% otherwise so you’re getting full charges when traveling.
The functionality can also work with smart home tech, so you can have it turn on all your lights as soon as you connect to home Wi-Fi (which usually happens while you’re still in the car), or turn off your lights if it’s after a certain time and your phone is plugged in. The possibilities are massive here, especially if you have other Samsung devices like the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Buds.
Bonus idea: TruePicksThere are other ways to theme or modify your Galaxy S25 to make it look cool or do extra things, and I can't resist one more suggestion. A good source of ideas is TruePicks, an app that shows off various wallpapers, icon packs, and launcher theme ideas.
With that said, the above Samsung Galaxy S25 features, settings, and apps should give you plenty to sink your teeth into for weeks or even months.

9. The AmateurThe Amateur is based on a Robert Littell novel from 1981, and it feels like it. Rami Malek stars as a CIA analyst who blackmails his bosses to get into the field to get revenge on the terrorists who murdered his wife. It's a plot you've seen before with nothing new or all that thrilling to offer, besides a star-studded cast who are wildly underused across the board.
As I wrote in my review for Mashable, "Where Black Bag (also streaming) broke the rules of spy movies and married couples being boring, The Amateur flings audiences back into the tedious and maudlin tale of a man who will literally plot a globe-trekking assassination vacation instead of going to therapy." —Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
Starring: Rami Malek, Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Laurence Fishburne
How to watch: The Amateur is now available for rental or purchase on Prime Video.
8. CleanerWhat if Die Hard were about a window cleaner? That's the plot of Cleaner, and honestly, we're not mad at it!
SEE ALSO: From 'Mickey 17' to 'Companion' and 'Babygirl', which movies are worth your time?Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale), Cleaner follows a young woman named Joey, who has a chip on her shoulder and a brother with autism whom she looks after. So when eco-terrorists lay siege to the skyscraper where she works — and where her brother is chilling until her shift is supposed to end — this cleaner is going to mop the floor with the baddies. Thankfully, she has military training. So, Die Hard or go home?
A solid B-movie full of twists, action, and a compelling-enough story, Cleaner is a solid pick for a cozy night in. — K.P.
Starring: Daisy Ridley, Taz Skylar, Matthew Tuck, and Clive Owen
How to watch: Cleaner debuts on HBO Max on June 13.
7. Deep CoverIf you were running an undercover sting operation, would you rely on improv comedians to land the white whale of London's criminal underworld? It's the question at the heart of Deep Cover, an action comedy from Stath Lets Flats director Tom Kingsley. When three down-on-their-luck Londonders from an improv class (Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, and Nick Mohammed) say, "Yes, and..." to a detective sergeant (Sean Bean) running a gang infiltration op, they are absolutely biting off more than they can chew. Can they pull it off? It won't be what any gang leader was expecting, and it could be just the right fit. A messy, chaotic, hilarious fit. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor
Starring: Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Nick Mohammed, Paddy Considine, Sonoya Mizuno, Ian McShane, and Sean Bean
How to watch: Deep Cover is now streaming on Prime Video.
6. Snow WhiteWest Side Story's Rachel Zegler brings the first Disney princess to life in Snow White. Screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson reimagines the fairytale to give its heroine more to do. In this version, Snow White isn't named for her pale skin, but for her resilience, having been born during a storm. This fortitude will not only urge her to stand up to her wicked stepmother, the Evil Queen (a miscast Gal Gadot), but also fight for the freedom of her people and her new love, who is no boring Prince Charming!
Despite CGI dwarves that are almost live-action Scuttle levels of disaster, Snow White is an enchanting offering. As I wrote in my review for Mashable, "Zegler is stellar as Snow White, and [Andrew] Burnap is terrific as her challenging beau. The dwarfs are a nightmare, and Gadot is insubstantial, but the charms of the colorful production design, the details of the CGI forest animals, and the richly enchanting costumes lure us into a fantasy world that's familiar but offers new discoveries to be uncovered. New songs give fresh verve to this antique tale. So in the end, Disney's Snow White is a magical cinematic experience." — K.P.
Starring: Rachel Zegler, Andrew Burnap, and Gal Gadot
How to watch: Snow White is now streaming on Disney+.
5. Jaws, Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D, and Jaws: The RevengeThis year marks the 50th anniversary of Jaws, the Steven Spielberg blockbuster that not only cemented his name but also made generations of Americans afraid to go into the water. With summer upon us, what better time to jump back into this splashy franchise about a series of sharks who are ferociously hellbent on making swimmers and tourists into fast food?
Peacock has all four Jaws movies streaming this month. And sure, the sequels can't compare to Spielberg's sense of spectacle in the original. But these subsequent films each have their odd charms. Well, as least Jaws 2 and 3-D. As Michael Caine, star of Jaws: The Revenge (aka Jaws 4) famously said, "I have never seen it, but I saw the house it bought my mother and it's marvelous." — K.P.
Starring: Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, Mario Van Peebles, and Michael Caine
How to watch: Jaws 1-4 begin streaming on Peacock on June 15.
4. Drive-Away DollsMarried collaborators Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke delivered a wild crime comedy with Drive-Away Dolls.
Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan star as lesbian besties who go on a road trip in a drive-away vehicle, accidentally picking up an illicit object that has some very dangerous men tracking it down. Lesbian bars, gun-wielding cronies, hilarious hijinks, and dildo jokes ensue in this funny film that's as outrageous as it is enthralling.
In my review for the film's theatrical release, I cheered, "The jokes are a joy, whether they are born from racing (or racy) repartee, a sultry prop, or a ludicrous plot twist. And overall, there's an exhilarating spontaneity as Cooke and Coen embrace the freedom of a movie that doesn't have to be for everyone. In the end, Drive-Away Dolls is a joyous romp, stuffed with fun, sex appeal, and stars. What more could we ask for at a night out at the movies?" — K.P.
Starring: Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Pedro Pascal, Bill Camp, and Matt Damon
How to watch: Drive-Away Dolls is now streaming on Peacock.
3. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.Author Judy Blume's coming-of-age novels like Forever… and Deenie are beloved for their frank, empathic depictions of puberty and all the complications that come with it. Writer/director Kelly Fremon Craig (The Edge of Seventeen) brings that same level of frankness and empathy to her rapturous 2023 adaptation of one of Blume's seminal classics: Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
Relive the story of Margaret Simon (a pitch-perfect Abby Ryder Fortson), an 11-year-old who's going through some big changes. On top of moving from New York City to New Jersey, she's also got a lot of questions about puberty, from pads to periods to bras. Often, she asks God these questions, even as she wrangles her own tricky relationship with religion. Fremon Craig navigates Margaret's adolescent complications with sweet understanding, all while giving further depth to characters like Margaret's mother Barbara (a sublime Rachel McAdams). The result is an incredible movie and an incredible work of adaptation. As I wrote in my review, "To have a coming-of-age film this good is truly nothing short of a miracle." — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring: Rachel McAdams, Abby Ryder Fortson, Elle Graham, Benny Safdie, and Kathy Bates
How to watch: Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. is now streaming on Peacock.
2. Twin PeaksYou can now spend your summer in the town of Twin Peaks! That's right, the cult classic series co-created by Mark Frost and the late, great David Lynch finds a new streaming home in MUBI this June, just in time for a summer binge-watch. (That includes the show's first two seasons as well as 2017's Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series.)
If you're a diehard Twin Peaks fan, it's the perfect time to revisit Agent Dale Cooper's (Kyle MacLachlan) investigation of who killed Laura Palmer and all the brilliantly surreal twists that follow. Or, if you're new to Twin Peaks, take the plunge into Lynch and Frost's strange world and see for yourself why it's considered to be one of the greatest series of all time. Just be sure to pair it with some cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee. — B.E.
Starring: Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Ontkean, Mädchen Amick, Dana Ashbrook, Richard Beymer, Lara Flynn Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn, Warren Frost, Peggy Lipton, James Marshall, Everett McGill, Jack Nance, Ray Wise, Joan Chen, Piper Laurie, Kimmy Robertson, Eric Da Re, Harry Goaz, Michael Horse, Sheryl Lee, and Russ Tamblyn
How to watch: Twin Peaks (1990) and Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series (2017) debut on MUBI on June 13.
1. Sew TornOut of Sew Torn's world premiere at SXSW 2024, I wrote in my review for Mashable that it played like Pushing Daisies meets Run Lola Run, thanks to its whimsical tone, which combines a grisly crime with a time-loop device that allows its needle-sharp heroine another try to get things right.
Written and directed by Freddy Macdonald, this inventive indie crime comedy begins with a drug deal gone violently wrong, before stitching together a twisty tale of an unlikely criminal mastermind: a mild-mannered mobile seamstress played by Eve Connolly (Vikings). When she comes across two crashed motorcyclists fighting over a mysterious suitcase on a remote road, she uses her incredible sewing know-how to knit herself a gnarly underworld. You won't predict what happens next, and that's part of the fun.
As I wrote previously, "Thanks to a crackling cast, a clever color scheme, and a plotline that's uniquely knotty, Macdonald makes Sew Torn a sensational experience. It has the cheeky fun of a top-notch crime comedy without losing the edge of life-or-death stakes." —K.P.
Starring: Eve Connolly, Calum Worthy, John Lynch, K. Callan, Ron Cook, Thomas Douglas, Caroline Goodall, Werner Biermeier, Veronika Herren-Wenger, and Petra Wright
How to watch: Sew Torn is now available on VOD.
