“The new stimulus bill was being held up in the Senate this week after Senator Ron Johnson, Republican of Wisconsin, demanded clerks read all 628 pages out loud. Yeah, this means for 10 hours, Ted Cruz wasn’t the most hated senator in Congress.” —Jimmy Fallon

“To make it feel even longer, Johnson hired Gilbert Gottfried to do the reading.” —Jimmy Fallon

“You really think that’s going to be a deterrent? We’ve all been in quarantine for a year. I’ve done things that are a lot less exciting than listening to a bill get read aloud for 10 hours.” —Seth Meyers

“The only thing built up more than this bill is Oprah’s interview with Meghan Markle.” —Jimmy Fallon
