“Some sad news today in
the world of technology,
because it was announced
that the last company to
commercially produce VCRs,
Funai Electric of Japan, will
discontinue selling VHS
cassette tape players this
month. For those of you who
don’t know what a VCR is,
it’s that large clock underneath your great-aunt’s TV.”

James Corden,” Aug. 1

“A new study finds

— “The Tonight Show Starring
Jimmy Fallon,” July 29
