'Looks like this is it guys. Anything to get off your chest?,' Herlihy yelled.
'This might sound corny but the only thing I regret is that Avengers didn't make more money at the box office,' said Johansson, who played the Black Widow in the MCU.
Finally, an air traffic controller responded to the pilots' pleas. Played by the episode's musical guest Bad Bunny, he was brand new on the job but, with no one else around, he had to rely on manuals to guide the plane. Naturally, he broke into a song too, which seemed to help.
The sketch, which you can watch above, also skewered Please Don't Destroy's lower than usual output this season.
'You're sad the season's over, and you only did like 2 videos?,'Johansson asked them when she first walked into their room.
This season, the trio did 6 videos vs. 21 across the previous two seasons.

‘Fantastic Four' First Reactions Say Film Is One of the ‘Best Things Marvel Has Ever Made' With ‘Stunning Visuals' and ‘Excellent' Performances From Leading Cast
Marvel's 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' has been unveiled to members of the film press, and first reactions are praising the MCU epic as a 'visual feast' with 'snappy, confident storytelling.' Next Best Picture editor-in-chief Matt Neglia wrote on X that the Marvel tentpole lives up to its namesake of 'fantastic,' hailing the film's 'excellent' leading quartet and 'delightful' retro-futuristic aesthetic. More from Variety John Malkovich's Red Ghost Cut From 'Fantastic Four'; Director Says 'It Was Heartbreaking Not to Include Him' (EXCLUSIVE) 'Fantastic Four,' Assemble: Director Matt Shakman on Casting Marvel's First Family Without Auditions and 'Corporate Pressures' Not Being 'My Burden to Shoulder' Mark Gatiss on His New Series 'Bookish,' the 'Romance of Crime' and Not Having to Worry About Spoiling 'Fantastic Four' He wrote, 'Combined with Matt Shakman's snappy, confident storytelling, this is an intriguing & satisfying first step for Marvel's new team (easily the best depiction of this quartet on-screen to date) as the MCU continues to regain control of the ship & steer it closer to 'Doomsday.'' Entertainment journalist Brandon Davis also took to X to share his thoughts. He wrote that 'Fantastic Four' was one of the 'best things Marvel has ever done' and compared the visuals to those of Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar.' 'Galactus is awesome. Silver Surfer looks really, really good. VFX were often immaculate,' Davis wrote. 'Cosmically and on Earth, Matt Shakman dropped a visual feast.' People staffer Sharareh Drury echoed the praise, writing on X that 'Fantastic Four' was 'breathtaking.' She gave particular kudos to Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, who play MCU power couple Reed Richards and Susan Storm, respectively. 'Stunning visuals, a moving story, witty banter and epic action. Marvel's First Family delivers one awesome ride,' she wrote. 'Pedro Pascal nails it as Mr. Fantastic. Vanessa Kirby stands out as Sue Storm – she's a shooting star.' Rounding out the leading four alongside Pascal and Kirby are Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. 'First Steps' follows the titular super squad as they defend Earth from the gargantuan planet-eating space tyrant Galactus. Matt Shakman directs with a script by Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan. Other cast members include Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Niles and Paul Walter Hauser. Variety exclusively reported that John Malkovich was originally set to appear in 'First Steps' as one of the Fantastic Four's earliest foes, Red Ghost, but was ultimately cut out of the film. Shakman said it was 'heartbreaking not to include him in the final version of the movie,' adding that he was 'honored' Malkovich had joined the project in the first place. 'There were a lot of things that ultimately ended up hitting the cutting room floor,' Shakman said. 'When we were building a '60s retro-future world, introducing all of these villains, introducing these four main characters as a group, as well as individually, introducing the idea of a child — there was a lot of stuff to balance in this movie and some things had to go ultimately in terms of shaping the film for its final version.' 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' hits theaters July 24. Check out more first reactions below. '#FantasticFour is a story about family above all else, where each member of the team is equally important. No one is underserved; the movie excels when fleshing out the various bonds between Pedro, Vanessa, Ebon, & Joseph. The retro '60s aesthetic works on all fronts.' – '#FantasticFour Is a masterpiece. the visual effects and the score are a HUGE stand out. Galactus Is huge In IMAX. It's emotional and gives you hope. It beats you off and doesn't stop. STAY Until the END CREDITS.' – Deo (@frickyuu) 'Fantastic Four friggin' rocks! More than any Marvel movie before it, F4 feels like Jack Kirby's imagination brought to life on the big screen. Between this and Superman, 2025 might go down as the year movies finally embrace the wonderful weirdness of comic books.' – Chris Killian (@chriskillian) 'Nothing will prepare you for #TheFantasticFour First Steps. Pedro Pascal is the perfect Reed, but the entire cast shines and does right by these characters. It's funny, moving, gorgeous to look at, and non-stop FANTASTIC. This is @MarvelStudios at its brilliant best.' – Josh Wilding (@Josh_Wilding) Best of Variety New Movies Out Now in Theaters: What to See This Week 'Harry Potter' TV Show Cast Guide: Who's Who in Hogwarts?

Bad Bunny Gets Adam Sandler's Stamp of Approval as ‘Funnier Than Me' in ‘Late Night' Chat About ‘Happy Gilmore 2'
Bad Bunny and Adam Sandler bring their comedic chemistry to Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday night (July 22), teasing the arrival of Happy Gilmore 2 this week. In the interview, the unlikely duo — Sandler reprising his role as golfer Happy Gilmore and Benito as his eccentric caddie — charm audiences with stories about the sequel and a dose of behind-the-scenes humor, as shown in the teaser below. More from Billboard Ozzy Osbourne Performing Final Gig From Throne 'Last Thing He Would Have Wanted,' Says Black Sabbath Bandmate Marvin Winans' 'Forgiveness,' From Justin Bieber's 'SWAG,' Debuts at No. 1 on Hot Gospel Songs Chart Texas' Alamo Posts Loving Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, Who Once Urinated on Sacred Memorial: 'We Honor History in All Its Complexities' When Meyers asked Sandler how he knew Bad Bunny had the comedic chops for the role, Sandler didn't hesitate. 'I saw him on Saturday Night Live,' Sandler said, then pointing to Benito. 'When I saw you on Saturday Night Live, I was like, 'He's funnier than me.'' The Puerto Rican superstar — who took a break from his historic residency in Puerto Rico to do the interview — quickly but humbly deflected the compliment: 'There's no way, there's no way.' Meyers wasn't far behind in praising the 'NUEVAYoL' hitmaker, bringing up his memorable SNL sketches during his hosting gig and three-time stint as a musical guest. Benito named his favorites, including the viral moment he played a tía alongside Pedro Pascal, also starring SNL castmember Marcello Hernández. Meyers, prepared for this answer, pulled up the now-iconic photo of the duo fully committed to their hilarious characters, dressed like elderly aunties. 'That was epic for me and for the whole Latino community,' Benito said, reflecting on one of his most celebrated moments on SNL. But he didn't stop there, citing another fan-favorite skit: 'I love the Shrek one.' Meyers couldn't resist joking about Bunny's effortless comic timing. 'In both the Benito sketches, he's just like barely trying, you know?' Sandler chuckled in agreement, hinting that this easy humor is exactly what brought Bad Bunny into his comedic fold. The playful banter offers fans a taste of what's to come in Happy Gilmore 2, where Sandler's golf franchise gets a fresh twist nearly three decades later. The film premieres Friday on Netflix.

'Fantastic Four: First Steps' director explains why he wanted to introduce powerful baby Franklin Richards
The Fantastic Four is about to become the Fantastic Five. Multiple trailers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps have revealed that Marvel's First Family is going to grow by one, thanks to Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) and Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) expecting their first child, Franklin. And comic book fans know that he's going to be so much more than just a bundle of joy for the new parents. While none of the previous onscreen adaptations of the Fantastic Four included the super-powered baby, director Matt Shakman tells Entertainment Weekly that it was always his plan to debut Franklin into the MCU. "I really wanted to bring Franklin into this world," the director says. "The most fantastic moment of my life was the birth of my daughter. And this movie is about these quiet, small, fantastic moments as well as these big moments — these moments of awe. And I think birth is one of those fantastic miracle moments that we all have, or those of us who are parents have." Shakman explains that becoming parents to Franklin "was important" to Reed and Sue's story — as well as Sue's brother Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn) and their close friend Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) — in this film. "It made them unique," the director says. "They are parents in the comics. [Their daughter] Valeria eventually comes. There's another member of the Richards-Storm family, and I just wanted to be able to talk about how a child changes a family, how a child changes a couple." The stars loved how Shakman incorporated a story about parenthood into the family-focused film. "All of us [wanted to join this movie] because he wanted to focus on Franklin, the baby," Kirby tells EW. "That was really unique; that set it aside from anything else. Franklin is a huge star of Marvel's legacy, so it was awesome that we got to have him in ours." But who is Franklin Richards, and why is he so important to the MCU? (Potential spoilers from the comics ahead.)In the comics, Franklin is the most powerful And we're not exaggerating. Thanks to his exposure to cosmic power while in the womb, he is born an immortal Omega-level mutant who can warp reality, create pocket universes, and wield telekinetic and telepathic powers, among many, many other skills. At one point, his nanny was none other than Agatha Harkness (portrayed in the MCU by Kathryn Hahn). Operating under the names Powerhouse and Tattletale, Franklin is so powerful that many cosmic beings take an interest in him — including Galactus, the space god who devours worlds (played in the upcoming movie by Ralph Ineson). What's noteworthy about Franklin's connection with Galactus is that, at one point in the comics, Franklin is so powerful that he becomes Galactus himself and makes the former Galactus his herald. Is that going to be baby Franklin's fate in the MCU? We'll find out soon when The Fantastic Four: First Steps flies into theaters on July 25. —Additional reporting by Mike Miller Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
