Best of late night.

On the Facebook and Instagram outage on Wednesday last week:

“Both Facebook and Instagram yesterday were out for millions of people. Tom from MySpace was like ‘I’m back in the game, baby!’”
— Jimmy Fallon

“These are pretty scary times. I don’t mean politically, I mean how Facebook and Instagram went down for hours yesterday. What do we do?”
— Jimmy Fallon

“Honestly, it was terrifying. I had no idea Instagram was down until I was out to dinner, and everyone was just walking around the restaurant with their plates going ‘Look.. do you like it? Do you have a comment about it?’”
— Jimmy Fallon

“Since I was unable to look at Instagram, I was finally forced to look inside myself. I’m kidding…I went on YouTube.”
— James Corden
