40 of the Funniest Tweets from Tuesday, September 3, 2024

If you’ve ever been let go from a job in an undignified manner, Ed O’Neill and Christina Applegate know exactly how you feel. On a recent episode of the MeSsy podcast, the Married… With Children father and daughter discussed how they found out their show was canceled after 11 seasons. Applegate learned through “a guy who knew a guy who worked for (her) assistant,” while O’Neill discovered the show’s fate from a random couple outside of the Ohio bed-and-breakfast he was staying at. 

On the complete other side of the cancellation equation, Peacock is set to launch a live comedy special from Weekend Update duo Colin Jost and Michael Che, which will feature “drop-ins” from their favorite New York club comics—both familiar and fresh-faced. Colin Jost & Michael Che Present: New York After Dark will hit the streaming service next Thursday, September 12th.

Meanwhile, despite the three-day weekend, the timeline is as hilarious as ever. Today’s funniest tweets include those about bathroom formal wear, that ”struck-by-lightning” glow and the cost-effective cure for hypochondria.
