THE INTERWEBS — You’re stuck at home all day due to the coronavirus quarantine and things are starting to get testy at your casa.
Family member quirks that were once cute are now bordering on obnoxious, the fridge has started talking and asking you if you’re really looking through it again, and now that you flew through "Tiger King" on Netflix in a day and a half you’re itching for some new, fresh content.
While I can’t help you with those family quirks or your anthropomorphic fridge, I might be able to help when it comes to seeing some new content from your favorite late-night TV hosts and a few others.
Here are some celebrities and entertainers still pumping out free content during the COVID-19 pandemic:
Late night whenever
Late-night host Conan O’Brien is still active on his YouTube channel and is releasing daily content including interviews with people like Adam Sandler, Jesse Eisenberg and Sophie Turner.
He’s also doing comedic bits on things like social distancing and baking at home. Conan has always been a favorite of mine, and he’s keeping us entertained during quarantine.
The host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" is still going strong with daily videos on the show’s YouTube channel.
Kimmel has been playing virtual host to celebs like Tracy Morgan, Courtney Cox and Joe Biden. He’s also doing at-home monologues and showing off his family every now and again.
"Late Night with Seth Meyers" was possibly on a little too late for you when it was on the air with new episodes, but now you can enjoy new content from the "Saturday Night Live" alum whenever.
With daily videos on his YouTube channel, Meyers is conducting virtual interviews with Martha Stewart, Bernie Sanders and Fred Armisen, to name a few, as well as posting monologues.
"The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon won’t be left out as he is also posting daily content on YouTube.
He’s hosting guests like Jonathan Van Ness, Jon Bon Jovi and is also having live musical acts perform via the web. Some of the musicians include OneRepublic, Marcus Mumford from Mumford and Sons, and Fallon himself.
The host of "The Late Show" is still going as well, as Stephen Colbert is playing hosts to celebrities like Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Radcliffe and John Oliver. He’s also still doing monologues and some absurd how-tos.
Some other worthwhile stuff
It’s hard not to like the charming John Krasinski — whether he’s playing goofy Jim Halpert from "The Office" or directing great suspense films like "A Quiet Place."
Krasinski felt like we could all use some good news right about now, so he created the YouTube channel "Some Good News." There are only two videos right now, but one includes him having a conversation with his "The Office" co-star Steve Carrell. It’s nearly impossible to not smile while watching the two of them reminisce about the good old days on the hit TV show.
Fellow KSL.com contributor Spencer Sutherland did a great piece last week about musicians posting performances online during the crisis.
One to add to the list is a 55-minute set Dave Matthews performed live for Verizon’s Pay It Forward series. It’s just Matthews and his acoustic guitar playing songs like "Dancing Nancies," "Grey Street" and "Don’t Drink the Water."
One more band to mention is Jimmy Eat World. Front man Jim Adkins played a 20-minute acoustic set for fans in lieu of a show in Sydney, Australia, that had to be cancelled.
Songs in the set include "Movielike," "Chase This Light" and the mega-hit "The Middle."
