Thanksgivukkah turned me into a grinch. No more parody videos, I thought. No more recipes, I cried. I couldn’t wait for the mash-up holiday madness to pass…until it did. On Friday morning, I was left with a full belly and an empty heart. There are still leftovers in the fridge, but what about the parodies? Could we have just one more? One more serving of hackneyed pop songs rewritten with holiday lyrics. What if it’s by Jimmy Fallon and Rashida Jones? Yes, we can.

Here they are, singing about Hanukkah to the tune of Lorde’s “Royals.” Fast forward to the good stuff at 1:56:

Thankfully there’s still a few nights left of Hanukkah to soften the post-Thanksgivukkah blow.

There’s nothing like a good ‘ol Jewish rhyming joke. Because duck rhymes with schmuck, watch Billy Crystal and Jimmy Fallon’s, Schmuck Dynasty. Then, binge-watch a couple of hours of Duck Dynasty. There, we made your evening plans for you. You’re welcome.

Watch, enjoy, and share.

Girls actress Zosia Mamet celebrated her 25th birthday just like you did—with a cleavage-bearing visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon before heading to a production of the off-Broadway play Really Really, in which she plays Leigh.

Fallon explained to the audience who Mamet’s playwright father is (some guy named David), and asked if he was supportive of her acting career. “Very supportive,” Mamet replied. “He loves it. Totally. Couldn’t ask for more from that man.”

“He is absolutely psyched,” she continued. “It was pretty obvious from day one that I wasn’t going to college—my little brother got the smarts in the family. I told him I wanted to act and that I was skipping out on school and he said, ‘Thank God one of my children is finally listening to me.'”

“I lucked out for sure,” she added.

Max Greenfield, the man behind New Girl’s Schmidt, stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night and, naturally, talked about his mother and his bar mitzvah.

He called his mother right away when he found out he got nominated for an Emmy, and her response was “You’re nominated against SAUL?” He imagines her spitting out her Nespresso coffee (“They just got a machine, they’re very excited about it”) when he listed the rest of the nominees.

Fallon also showed pictures from Greenfield’s Saturday Night Live-themed bar mitzvah, which we’ve heard about several times before. SNL people, just let the guy host already—please?

Four of the Maccabeats—presumably the ones who graduated college—are back at it with a new a capella jingle, just in time for their favorite holiday, Hanukkah. Taking a page from Rashida Jones and Jimmy Fallon, the guys sing a pop song parody medley with, you guessed it: the words changed to Hanukkah-y things!

They take on Ke$ha’s “Die Young,” One Direction’s “Live While We’re Young,” and Fun’s “Some Nights”—though they changed the words to ‘Eight Nights’ where Fallon and Jones opted for ‘Some Lights.’

What do you think of this new post-Maccabeats project?

Jewcy crush Rashida Jones continued her talk show awesomeness (remember when she called out Mel Gibson for hating Jews on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens?) when she stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Thanksgiving.

They sang an incredible four minute-long holiday-themed pop song parody medley, hitting all the major targets: Taylor Swift (“We are never, ever, ever wearing ugly sweaters”), Carly Rae Jepson’s “Call Me Maybe” (“Pass the Gravy”), and even the somewhat tired Gangnam Syle (“Open Eggnog Style”). Jones obviously has a secret good voice, and pulls off the whole thick-framed-glasses-with-a-dress look.

But the highlight by far was when they started whistling the tune of Flo Rida’s catchy, gross-sounding song “Blow My Whistle,” and Fallon pulls a dreidel out of his pocket. “Can you spin my dreidel baby, dreidel baby, let me know,” Fallon rasps. “Girl I know that you’re not Jewish so I’ll start real slow.” It’s weird, since Jones is Jewish, but whatever. Then she breaks it down: “Just put your fingertips together and you say Shalom,” which is definitely not how we play dreidel at my house, but again, whatever. Do your thing, Jones:
