Fred Armisen breaks down the fascinating evolution of conversational accents and speech patterns decade by decade on The Tonight Show. "I've been working on some impressions of accents through the decades" 1900s: "the manufacturer and the farmer, people thought it was very British, but it's actually very Dutch and German" 1920s: "They start getting very aware of the microphone" 1950s: "It starts to flatten out a little bit. I'd like to on a Friday night, I'd like to read a book on a Friday night" 1960s: "Diverges a little bit where there's an official sort of news hour... and then the sort of people in interviews looked like they were in shock" 1970s: "There's a whisper to it. There's a sort of confusion as to what's going on, there's a whisper" 1990s: "Very kind of laid back, wow, the nineties laid back, yeah, very sarcastic and ironic, wow" 2000s: "You start to hear the vocal fry... guys are in a meeting and they can sort of hear that throughout when they're talking on a conference call"

Breaking: #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is out for Sunday due to a superficial blood clot. Full statement from the #Eagles on QB Jalen Hurts:   “On Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf. He informed the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on October 4th. This was his first treatment session for the calf injury following the game, after having practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment, practiced in full, and was added to the practice report.   “Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team’s flight to London and walkthrough. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play. Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.    “Jalen played without limitation in the game Sunday, received treatment on Monday and Tuesday, and practiced in full on Wednesday, as reflected in the practice report. Throughout our time in London and this week, we have remained in communication with the league office regarding the matter.     "On Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot. Jalen will be out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment. His health and safety are our highest priority.”
