* The biggest news of the week was David Letterman’s retirement from the “The Late Show” after 22 years and from being a late-night talk show host for even longer than that. Letterman’s influence really shows with all these tributes the other late-night hosts have given him and we’ve included just some of them below.
* The guys at Community helped make Captain America: Winter Soldier the great movie that it is, and this current season on Yahoo, they made their own tribute to the epic elevator scene from Winter Soldier with their own take on it.
* NBC had its first participation in the charity event of Red Nose Day, and the highlight is the Game of Thrones Musical with the cast and Coldplay.
* This parody cover version of “Shake it off” by The Hillywood Show and Nerdist along with much of the Supernatural cast is frankly possibly better than the original Taylor Swift version.
* Mario Cart: Fury Road is a Mad Max: Fury Road parody that takes things up to the next level and blends much to well.
* Two trailers this week with the trailer for the Maze Runner sequel, The Scorch Trials, and a trailer for the Batkid documentary that doesn’t make you cry. WHAT IS THIS DUST IN THE AIR?!
