Best of Late Night TV: Jake Gyllenhaal's Water War and Jim Carrey's Matthew McConaughey Impression (VIDEO)

If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.



Jake Gyllenhaal visited "The Tonight Show" and promptly started throwing glasses of water all over Jimmy Fallon in an epic game of Water War. Basically, they played the card game War and hurled water at each other, and it was completely amazing. Spoiler alert: the winner got to use a giant squirt gun on the loser!

Pee-wee Herman (aka Paul Reubens) was also in the house on "The Tonight Show," and he did Jimmy a solid by re-voicing "The Avengers: Age of Ultron" trailer. We challenge you to get through this without laughing.

Lisa Kudrow is currently starring on HBO's "The Comeback," but let's be real -- people will always love her most for her role on Friends. Except for her son, that is, who (as Lisa told Jimmy Kimmel) apparently doesn't have any interest in the show. Uhm, but what about Ross and Rachel?! Blasphemy.

Everyone's favorite pet detective Jim Carrey rolled by "Late Show with David Letterman," but unfortunately he got stuck in a claw machine in an attempt to retrieve an Academy Award. Understandable.





Jim also busted out his Matthew McConaughey impression, which might be the best one of all time. The highlight? Watching "Matthew" roll his boogers.



Finally, Katherine McPhee visited "Conan" to chat about how she's totally anti dressing up super-sexy for Halloween. You can guess how Conan felt about that....

The 30 Best Movies of 2014 (So Far)

With Oscar season just around the corner (literally -- we can see it peeking out, all gilded and glittery and begging for attention), we thought we'd run down 10 more of the best movies of 2014. (For those of you playing along at home, this is our third such rundown in three such quarters.)

Hopefully you've seen a bunch of these, and even if you haven't -- you should. They're very much worthy of your time, even if they ultimately fail to register in the end-of-the-year cluster cuss.

Neil Patrick Harris and Husband David Burtka Joining 'American Horror Story'

Cross another item off Neil Patrick Harris's bucket list!



The actor has been booking roles left and right recently - the Oscars hosting gig and an NBC variety special - and now, he's achieved another dream: appearing on "American Horror Story: Freak Show." And he'll do so with husband David Burtka!



This past summer, Harris revealed that he was dying to guest star on the FX drama. Creator Ryan Murphy responded on Twitter that he had the perfect role in mind.



TV Line reports that role is as a chameleon salesman in the final two episodes of "AHS: Freak Show." Meanwhile, Burtka will appear opposite Jessica Lange in the finale in a "sexy storyline."



Murphy and Harris previously worked together on an episode of "Glee," for which Harris won an Emmy for Guest Actor in a Comedy. So, their second collaboration should be a good one.



"He had very specific ideas for what he wanted to do, and I had very specific ideas, so we're working on melding those," Murphy told TV Line recently. He's awesome. He's obviously one of our great entertainers, and I'd love to see him and Jessica Lange go at it in a really cool, fun way."



NPH is gonna get freaky!

First Look and Shocking New Details on 'Terminator: Genisys'

Are you ready for a different kind of "Terminator"?



As Entertainment Weekly reports in this week's cover story, the first film in the new "Terminator" movie trilogy will changes things up in a significant way for the franchise.



The story starts off in familiar fashion: It's 2029, in the midst of the war between humans and machines. Rebel leader John Connor (Jason Clarke) sends his loyal soldier, Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney), back in time to 1984 to save Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) - and father her son.



But in "Genisys," there's a twist, involving original movie series star Arnold Schwarzenegger:

Sarah Connor isn't the innocent she was when Linda Hamilton first sported feathered hair and acid-washed jeans in the role. Nor is she Hamilton's steely zero body-fat warrior in 1991's T2. Rather, the mother of humanity's messiah was orphaned by a Terminator at age 9. Since then, she's been raised by (brace yourself) Schwarzenegger's Terminator - an older T-800 she calls "Pops" - who is programmed to guard rather than to kill. As a result, Sarah is a highly trained antisocial recluse who's great with a sniper rifle but not so skilled at the nuances of human emotion.

POPS?!



It seems this reboot of "Terminator" is really a mega-reboot, with Sarah Connor knowing about Terminators for most of her life. Does this essentially erase the first two movies? (That would be a crime!)



But let's take a breath and reserve judgment (day) until the movie hits theaters July 1, 2015.

Robert Pattinson on 'Maps to the Stars,' Hollywood Ugliness and Child Actors (VIDEO)

Of all people, worldwide heartthrob Robert Pattinson should understand the perils of fame and what Hollywood can do to a person.



In his latest film, in David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars," Pattinson plays a back-seat role, which ironically has him in the front seat. He's a limo driver to the stars, and he spends the movie trying to break into Hollywood via auditions (and other methods).



Moviefone Canada spoke to Pattinson at the Toronto Film Festival, where he laughingly discussed the ugliness of Hollywood and the even-more-repulsive child actor phenomenon.



(Check out the video interview, above.)



"Maps to the Stars" opens in theatres on October 31.
