Jay Leno is one step closer to becoming a law in California. A bill named after the former Tonight Show host passed by state’s Senate Transportation Committee with bipartisan support this week. Named in recognition of the celebrity motorhead who co-authored the bill, “Leno’s Law” would change how classic car owners navigate anti-smog laws in the state of California. From here, the bill will be considered by the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Kimmel appears in the show’s fourth season as a fictionalized (much meaner) version of himself. The first peek at his performance was revealed when Smart guested on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night.

Saturday Night Live is channeling a retro backstage soap opera in its first promo for this week’s new episode with host Jon Hamm. “This week on… Saturday Night Live,” announces a voiceover by James Austin Johnson, “with special guest: Jon Hamm.” In this case, Hamm is a doctor, whipping away a medical file to reveal his face in dramatic fashion before he breaks bad news to Chloe Fineman.

Ronny Chieng became an American citizen with some decidedly American fanfare: a salute from Bill Murray. The Malaysian-born comedian, who joined The Daily Show in 2015, quietly became an American citizen two weeks ago—on the same day he hosted Bill Murray on the program. We wouldn’t have known at all had The Daily Show not released a behind-the-scenes clip over the weekend, in which Bill Murray surprised the host and shared his news with the show’s studio audience.

In this recurring feature, we keep tabs on how late-night shows are working to wed commerce with comedy. Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s resident sidekick is giving up his platform. Well, his platform boots.
