Colbert joked about being off air because of the strikes.

On a slightly more serious note, Kimmel talked about retiring.

Meyers called Kimmel the Tom Brady of late-night.

I was very very serious.

I enjoy getting summers off and you dont get them off.

I like getting the summer off when Im getting paid to have the summer off, he added.

Kimmel joked that his mother gave Castro a handjob in 1975.

I think handjob for Castro is the pullquote, added Colbert.
