Late-night TV hosts continue to make their return to telecasts this week amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and Conan O’Brien and his iPhone could not have been more welcome on TBS (with Full Frontal With Samantha Bee planning a Wednesday comeback). O’Brien and sidekick Andy Richter did their damndest to banter through the circumstances with somewhat disheveled appearances, but neither of them was a match for guest Adam Sandler’s fully grown-in mustache as viewed in this online clip that’s not embeddable, but we’ll take it.

Granted, this is not officially a quarantine ‘stache. Sandler sported a similar look for Netflix’s Murder Mystery, but for “Coney,” the thing seemed to come to life. Maybe it was the terrible lighting in the Sandman’s home, who knows? However, it’s not like this relaxed outfit is unusual attire for the guy, who’s now so notorious for his casual looks that he could hit the red carpet in outfits like these. And all respect for this ‘stache.

“I like the mustache, by the way,” Conan offered after the 9:00 minute mark. “It looks like you’re going to be making pornography in quarantine.”

Oh yeah. Things only got stranger from there, with Sandler discussing how he’s “getting very experimental” in the bedroom with his wife, and naturally, Conan was all ears. The Sandman then proceeded to describe his new moves, which include, uh, actually doing something in the sack, and it’s safe to say that we really need this comedy (however juvenile) right now. Even if fresh supplies of laughter only come from watching low-tech webcam videos, these two know exactly what their audiences could use right now: distractions. That means watching these two mercilessly tease each other before Sandman whips out a musical instrument.

There are few things in the world that Rihanna fans want more right now than a new album. Heck, even Drake has joined the chorus of stans begging Rihanna to drop new music. We still don’t have anything close to a confirmed release date, but Rihanna has offered a promising update.

Rihanna is the subject of a new profile from British Vogue, and in the piece, she says of her upcoming album, “I can’t say when I’m going to drop. But I am very aggressively working on music.”

She also hinted at an eclectic nature for the album, saying, “I don’t want my albums to feel like themes. There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out.” Rihanna indicated that while the album still has a strong reggae influence, it may not be just about the one genre, as she previously suggested: “I feel like I have no boundaries. I’ve done everything — I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre — now I’m just, I’m wide open. I can make anything that I want.”

So, while there’s no concrete news about a new album, fans were at least treated to new Rihanna recently, as she made a guest appearance on PartyNextDoor’s new album.

In a rare insistence of online solidarity, Twitter came together last week to drag Gal Gadot’s “Imagine” video, which was meant to… defeat the coronavirus through the power of an overplayed John Lennon song? It’s unclear what the intent was, but the Wonder Woman star, along with many of her famous friends including Kristin Wiig, Jimmy Fallon, and Will Ferrell, probably didn’t expect the reaction they received. (John Mayer is thankful he sang the wrong “Imagine,” the one by Ariana Grande.)

During a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, host Joe Rogan (and guest Tom Segura) had some fun at the video’s expense. “Did you see that ‘Imagine’ song that all those knuckleheads got together and sang? ‘Imagine there’s no heaven’? This is not the time, when everyone’s grammy is dying, you f*cking idiot, to sing, ‘Imagine there’s no heaven.’ … Stay offline, you f*ck. Get off your phone,” Rogan said.

Rogan continued:

“If I’m friends with her … I would have to say, ‘Listen, you’re awesome. I think you’re great. But that is a ridiculous idea.’ It is so lacking in self-awareness and so ridiculous… There are some people who get real self-indulgent and real self-righteous with that social media. It’s exposed a lot of celebrities for being real dorks.”

If Rogan had been asked to join the video (replacing, I dunno, Natalie Portman?), here’s what he would have told Gadot: “Listen, you’re awesome. I think you’re great. But that is a ridiculous idea.” The podcast host did, however, unexpectedly enjoy Rita Wilson rapping Naughty by Nature while in quarantine. “That was awesome. It was good though. It was fun. No makeup. She’s having fun. She did a good job,” he explained. “It’s also so obvious she wasn’t trying to be anything other than having fun.”

You heard it here, folks: Naughty by Nature > John Lennon. And here’s the clip…

Last week, James Corden announced that The Late Late Show would be airing a special episode that was hosted from his garage. The Homefest edition of the show was envisioned as a way to lift people’s spirits during this coronavirus pandemic, and the episode was certainly a morale booster for pop music fans, as Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and BTS all appeared.

Eilish and her brother Finneas (and a sleepy puppy in Eilish’s lap) sat at the piano in their Los Angeles home for a lovely and intimate rendition of “Everything I Wanted.” Elsewhere during the show, Dua Lipa video chatted in from London, and she, along with a number of her friends who videoed in from their homes, performed “Don’t Start Now.” BTS also made an appearance from a dance studio in South Korea, where they danced to and sang “Boy With Luv.” Also performing on the show were John Legend, Andrea Bocelli, and Ben Platt.

It wasn’t just music on the show, though. David Blaine virtually stopped by the show for some quarantine magic, while Will Ferrell offered suggestions for songs to sing while washing your hands.

Watch clips from the show above and below.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Rihanna was scheduled to perform at the 2016 Grammys but pulled out hours before the event, citing illness and vocal rest.
