As one visual technology experiences a surge in popularity, a once-popular six-second video app is starting to wither on the, well, vine.
Memes have now become more popular than Jesus — searching for them has anyway. People have started looking for those pithy photo messages more than information about the religious figure, according to reports on Google trends. WWJD about this loss in popularity? Seth Meyers shows us in today's Punchlines, above. Hint: If you can't beat them, join them.
And Twitter recently announced that it's closing down Vine, a video app that the company bought for $30 million just four years ago. So what's going to happen to all those Vine stars, some of whom made millions off of their six-second video fame? Trevor Noah has one theory, and it's pretty brief.
And Jimmy Kimmel fills us in on some tough Apple technology.
