The Internet has been overrun with , from Google’s MicDrop debacle to Yahoo convincing panicked fans that Trader Joe’s was closing down. So you can understand why this was us at the Forward all day as we read the news:

But just when you’ve had enough pranks, here come Alan Cumming and Monica Lewinsky with a brilliant idea that actually sounds awesome!

We know it’s just a joke, but we would totally buy the album, play it on loop and laud it as the greatest cultural mash-up of our time.
Cummings and Lewinsky were not the only ones with some tongue-in-cheek comments for April Fools’, comedians Michael Ian Black and Billy Eichner had a few things to say as well.
If Jesus had come back from the dead on April Fool’s, everybody would have been like, “Nah-uh,” and we’d all be Jews.

Happy April Fools Day to all my fellow Log Cabin Republicans!

Even Mark Zuckerberg could not escape. Swedish clothing chain H&M had the perfect gag with #MarkforHM

Finally, it was Albert Brooks who perfectly summarized the day in a tweet:
