After weeks of speculation, Adult Swim execs made good on their promise to reveal the voice actors who have replaced disgraced co-creator Justin Roiland on Rick and Morty. Newcomers Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden bested thousands of potential candidates in an exhaustive six-month search — an audition process that showrunner Scott Marder described as being so grueling that he and Dan Harmon considered opening a hotline. Ultimately, though, they realized how quickly that would devolve into a “Seymour Butts” kind of situation. 

Meanwhile, as Jerry Seinfeld teased an update to the polarizing Seinfeld finale, Julia Louis-Dreyfus is here to tell you she has no clue “what the hell he’s talking about.” Whether her ignorance was feigned or genuine, the Veep actress told The Guardian that she wasn’t privy to Seinfeld’s plan and that she found out just like the rest of us — by hearing about it in the media. It remains to be seen whether this will be a televised event à la Max’s Friends reunion special or a horribly unfunny Super Bowl commercial for Blink Fitness.

Between the truths revealed and the mysteries unsolved, we’ve had our fair share of funny tweets impacting the timeline today as well. They include those about the pain of enjoying candy corn, a rooster staring down decades of trauma and a land acknowledgment like no other.
