Jost then pointed at Johnson, who stated that the skull of a T.rex seen behind Johnson in a recent interview wasn’t the real thing, but a replica. “Johnson also said it’s just a coincidence that his diet calls for 1000 pounds of dinosaur meat a day,”He said.
Jost would then address the fact Amazon has revealed a title for its brand new website Lord of the Rings series—that of course being Rings of Power. “I’m personally more excited,”He said: “for the spinoff, Gollum in Paris.”
Before long, the anchor would become the butt of the joke himself, when conversation turned toward his and Davidson’s recent purchase of a Staten Island ferry boat, which they’re looking to turn into an entertainment venue.
