While most of the network late night players were on vacation last night, Nanny McPhee star and scribe Emma Thompson charmed Jon Stewart at the Daily Show while badmouthing her country's most beloved fictional nanny. Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert voiced his (character's) anti-gay views, Stewart got to the bottom of the nation's mosque-mania and Aubrey Plaza recalled her days getting drunk on the job.

2. Aubrey Plaza's Service Resume
The Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Parks and Recreation actress made her Lopez Tonight debut last night by discussing her days as a bowling alley cocktail waitress and the time she was fired on New Year's Eve after injuring a co-worker. (Feel free to fast forward through Aubrey and George's Shake-Weight bit, which ends around the 0:50 mark.)
